Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Schoology is used across the district as an online learning platform that is used for both synchronous and asynchronous learning. It allows us to use less paper by having assignments online, which also mitigates challenges with students losing paper copies. Additionally, it allows for linked assignments with Google Drive for easy storage, real time viewing for feedback, and rubrics attached to assignments for easy grading.

Likelihood to Recommend

Schoology has been useful since before the pandemic, but has become even more since. It allows for electronic documents that are easily stored, nothing gets lost, and no copies need to be made. It also enables students to see where they are in their work, always have access to the gradebook, and have clarity on what needs to get done. It provides options for synchronous or asynchronous work (or both, in some cases). I personally really enjoy using it as a platform for teaching.
