Overall Satisfaction with Schoology

Schoology is used at my corporation by ALL teachers. It is a requirement for each classroom. We are a 1 to 1 school and this helps our teachers and students stayed organized.
  • Schoology keeps all the lessons organized into units for the students to find.
  • Schoology is able to sync all assignments from Schoology to PowerSchool.
  • Schoology allows a teacher to upload pre-made tests so the students can take the test and Schoology will auto grade it.
  • One of the test examples is called ordering. It is hard to grade and auto grading doesn't work real well on this question type.
  • It is hard to submit homework questions without creating a test/quiz and telling students it is only homework.
  • We are a school, so I'm not sure if this applies.
  • We have had several new students this year. I hope that what we are doing out here is getting us noticed.
We looked at several program and we liked Schoology the best. I have used Blackboard as a college instructor, so I didn't feel that it was appropriate for the K-12 platform. I also felt that Canvas was Blackboard like, so we didn't pick it either. Schoology reminds me of a meshing of Blackboard and Facebook. It is very user friendly and has many features that fit for our district.
I have used three LMS solutions and Schoology is by far the best. Syncing of your grades is a huge time saver. Having a resource to "hold" your lessons, unit etc. is great time saver also. I don't use the grade book for any other reason than to sync to PowerSchool. If Schoology was a full-service SIS also, that would help in reducing the number of programs we use.
