Overall Satisfaction with Schoology
Schoology was purchased for our school district and is being used by all educators and students. Students are able to get work delivered directly to them. As a user I can send different assignments to different students. Teachers are able to share common files or files needed by the whole district. Parents are even able to see what their child is doing in the classroom.
- I was able to develop personalized learning for my math students. Students worked on various tasks to meet their needs and to take formative quizzes so I knew who to challenge and who to pull for a small group.
- Students have been given copies of short articles in small groups. They can read the assigned article and discuss it within Schoology. They also can take notes based on their research.
- I am able to post information to parents about our daily schedule. Copies of worksheets or homework. Parents can also see pictures I post again giving parents information about our class.
- I needed to get specific help in setting up my math course so that students could not move forward before doing step one. It was not intuitive to me so I received help.
- I would also like to see all assignments posted not just the last assignment. There are times students post an assignment to the wrong course and then I am not able to see their first attempt. I want to see them all.
- I am not in a position to provide this information from a district perspective.
At first I thought Edmodo was better for my elementary students. Then I embraced the LMS and my students have done fabulous things with submitting their work, finding their math assignments, and even uploading movies of their learning. I look forward to introducing more self-paced courses for my students accessing YouTube videos, articles, quizzes, etc so I can review their learning.
