Overall Satisfaction with Schoology
We are using Schoology in our school district as our learning management system. Before Schoology, most teachers didn't have an LMS. If they did, they used Google Classroom, or free versions of LMSs. We currently are still in the implementation phase. Some teachers use it, others don't. One problem is consistency. Students start to count on Schoology being used by all teachers, and it isn't yet. We are getting there though.
- We are moving toward paperless classrooms. Costs less and good for the environment!
- Schoology is a one stop shop for students and parents. Students can see when all assignments are due in on one calendar, and parents can also see when assignments are due.
- Schoology has some great features, one being gradeable discussions.
- The grading feature isn't great yet. It's hard to grade written assignments with the current platform. We've been told improvements are in the works.
- The gradebook does not tie in with our student data management tool. As a result, teachers use the gradebook in our data management tool and don't even look at the gradebook in schoology.
Schoology was the best in our eyes because it was the most flexible and had the best features. Google Classroom really isn't a learning management system, and Canvas was good but Schoology was better.
