Schoology is like Google Classroom's cooler, more organized cousin. It's a full-fledged LMS that doesn’t just sit there looking pretty—it integrates smoothly with third-party apps, so you can add all the fun extras you want. It’s got advanced grading and analytics, so you can track every student’s progress like a pro—because who doesn’t love a little data? Plus, with its rich course customization options, you can make your lessons as personalized as a pizza topping order. And for communication and collaboration, Schoology has got you covered with tools for discussions, messaging, and group work—making sure your students don’t just learn, but actually interact with each other (and you, of course)!
I will give my advice on using Schoology to organize class materials. Connect to PowerSchool to sync grades. Learn how to link to external tools, some of which will send grades back to Schoology. I am a high school math teacher that has used Schoology since the beginning. Come learn how to get started!
In this session, we’ll show you how to get started in Schoology without needing a PhD in technology. We’re keeping it simple—no high-tech skills required, just the basics to help you set up your courses, grade with ease, and create a welcoming digital space for students. Just bring your Macbook and we’ll guide you through the essentials. By the end, you’ll feel confident using Schoology like a pro—no fancy jargon or complicated steps involved!
