Considered Both Products	Discontinued Products Ben Westby Educator in Customer Service at Garfield RE2 (E-Learning, 201-500 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo is very similar, and they all share essential functions. Edmodo allows us to track student progress with visuals that are a bit easier than Google Classroom or Schoology.

Leticia Citizen i4Coach at Beverly Hills USD (Primary/Secondary Education, 501-1000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo provides the services that I love, unlike some of the other sites.

Ben Westby Fourth Grade Teacher at Roaring Fork School District (RE-1) (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo finds itself more user-friendly for the younger grades.

Sudi Stodola Professional Learning Coordinator at Denver Public Schools (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) I have taught hybrid classrooms using WebCT, Blackboard, and D2L. I have used Schoology in the past for a brief time. Edmodo is a good LMS because students like its Facebook style; I like it because I feel it is a K-12 appropriate means of getting secondary students used to the … Incentivized Helpful? Brandon Rainbeau AP / Honors Biology and Oceanography Teacher at Ridgefield High School (Higher Education, 51-200 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Ease of use, a very familiar Facebook-like platform, and an incredible community make Edmodo an amazing LMS platform to use for educators. I find this to be probably the best LMS platform for teachers to start with. However, when you are looking to up-the-ante and want to … Incentivized Helpful? Amanda Youngblood English Language Arts Instructor at Windermere Preparatory School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo is primarily for communicating and collaborating, and because its purpose is different, it doesn't have many of the options and tools that one expects from a LMS (Learning Management System). While it excels at connecting parents, students, and teachers, as well as … Helpful? Justin Leach Social Studies Department Chair / Social Studies Teacher at Cincinnati Public Schools (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) See previous comments. Helpful? Kat Crawford Director of Technology Solutions at CEEAS (Education Management, 1-10 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) Edmodo has a simplistic and familiar design that attracts teachers and students to engage with the platform. Even though the functionality looks basic, teachers can dig deep to create personalized learning experiences quickly. Most other platforms have some of the functionality … Incentivized Helpful? Sarah McGuire Instructional Coach grades 6-8: Social Studies Department at Duxbury Public Schools (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Edmodo (discontinued) These two platforms are similar. The user interface of Edmodo is just friendlier and more obvious to navigate, however once you are used to either interface, they both are highly functional and improve learning and engagement. Helpful?	PowerSchool Group LLC Sheila Majask, MLIS History Teacher & Social Studies Curriculum Leader at Chippewa Valley Schools (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology is well supported and is easy to use. It might not have all of the features of a larger LMS like Blackboard or Moodle, but that is also what makes it easier to use. It does not have the "scroll of death" that you would experience with Edmodo. Content is organized … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Schoology Learning Schoology was selected by my district. I like Schoology thus far. However, it is limited because teachers need subscriptions to access and add their classes. I prefer to use Edmodo to connect my students with their global peers to communicate, collaborate, and create. Incentivized Helpful? Arcadia Parson Teacher at Virginia Beach City Public Schools (Education Management, 10,001+ employees) Chose Schoology Learning I have taught using both Edmodo and Google Classroom. While both were easier than Schoology was to get in the beginning, Schoology is infinitely more powerful than either of them was. I can do so much more, and differentiate so much easier using Schoology than I could with … Incentivized Helpful? Kelley Stone Instructional Technology Specialist at Widefield School District 3 (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning I personally liked Edmodo's ease of use and look better, but that is a personal preference. Schoology is a great product that is continuing to improve through user feedback. Incentivized Helpful? Kate Faulkner Intervention and Enrichment Coordinator, Elementary Science at Fort Bend ISD (Education Management, 10,001+ employees) Chose Schoology Learning As a previous Edmodo user, Schoology is much more robust and intuitive. Incentivized Helpful? Julie Hopp Educator, Technology Coach in Information Technology at Romeo Community Schools (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology is easier and more robust then any other learning management system I have ever used. It is also available for free to teachers that has almost all of the features available. Blackboard was terribly user unfriendly. Canvas was too limited for me. Moodle was only … Incentivized Helpful? Laura Beckham Digital Learning Coach at Lexington School District 1 (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Before using Schoology, we used Edmodo. It was a great starting point for a learning management system, but did not have all of the possibilities that Schoology provided. Schoology is a more robust learning management system that allows our teachers to go beyond digital … Incentivized Helpful? Debbie Burmeister Grade 4 Techer at Neenah Joint School District (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Liz Lubeskie Coordinator of Online Learning & Technology Integration in Information Technology at Manheim Central School District (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology was so much easier to use than Moodle. Fewer steps to produce better materials than in Moodle. Edmodo was not as reliable on our browsers. Schoology rarely doesn't work or goes offline. Schoology's support framework and ease of use is why we chose them over the … Incentivized Helpful? Glen Irvin Teacher/Technology Integrationist in Information Technology at Wabasha-Kellogg Schools (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology is simply a more robust option that either Edmodo, Google Classroom or Canvas without the headaches of a large learning curve. Incentivized Helpful? Amy Westby High School Counselor in Professional Services at International Schools Consortium (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology is a blend of most online programs. In areas of assigning work and grading, it does really well. In terms of having an intuitive classroom to navigate, other programs are better. Incentivized Helpful? Kellie Weisenbeck Educator at Virginia Beach City Public Schools (Education Management, 10,001+ employees) Chose Schoology Learning I've worked with several different learning management systems. Schoology has more to offer and allows students to work within the LMS. Other apps and programs can be embedded and opened inside the LMS. Educators can create and use great graphics within folders, pages, … Incentivized Helpful? Jherlyn Lopez Teacher in Professional Services at White Plains (E-Learning, 501-1000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Although there are other good platforms for managing online classrooms, we did not find these as robust and were not as user-friendly in terms of interface, and their ability to connect to other online education platforms. It is also the best available platform for connecting … Incentivized Helpful? Jeremy Umbenhauer Chemistry Teacher at Lebanon High School (Primary/Secondary Education, 51-200 employees) Chose Schoology Learning I have used or experimented with a few different Learning Management Systems while teaching or taking classes.

Incentivized Helpful? Ben Westby Fourth Grade Teacher at Roaring Fork School District (RE-1) (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning While I did not personally select Schoology due to the district level agreements, it has been helpful to coordinate with other teachers with the same students. Incentivized Helpful? Bryan Brutto Director Of Administration at Avon Grove Charter School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Schoology Learning We choose Schoology over other platforms based on its UI design, its cost per user, and its ambitious roadmap for future development to support students and teachers. Incentivized Helpful? Stacy Dunn High School Math Teacher at Rich East High School (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Apples and oranges. I feel like from a teachers stand point Schoology is much more user friendly and has great customer service. Any bugs I have come across I just go into the live chat feature and someone is there to help immediately! Incentivized Helpful? Mike Rich Director of Innovation at Modesto City Schools (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology surpasses the alternatives, in our situation, because it interfaces directly with our SIS (PowerSchool). This feature saves time for teachers and provides quick grading updates. Schoology also has a robust LTI interface that allows outside tools to be connected. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Bruggeman Band Teacher at Monroe School District (Primary/Secondary Education, 201-500 employees) Chose Schoology Learning I was in the committee that investigated LMS platforms and the committee felt very strongly that Schoology would better serve our needs.

Lyons Matthew History Teacher/ Tech Integration Champion at Fort Bend ISD (Primary/Secondary Education, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning I was not privy to the reasons why Schoology was chosen over other LMS software. Incentivized Helpful? Philip Pulley Teacher at Fieldcrest CUSD #6 (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology no longer provides all of the features of Canvas for a lower cost. In fact, as someone who now uses both LMSs, at different jobs, I can no longer recommend Schoology as features are disappearing and support has become almost worthless. Incentivized Helpful? Crystal Hurt Teaching and Learning Coordinator at Educational Service Unit 10 (Professional Training & Coaching, 51-200 employees) Chose Schoology Learning I've either been a student or teacher in each of the products listed above. Schoology is, by far, the easiest yet most comprehensive platform. While several of the products have similar features, the layout, look, and navigation within Schoology create the best user experience. … Incentivized Helpful? Hope Elliott Instructional Technology Coach in Information Technology at Lowndes County Board of Education (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Other LMS that we reviewed did not have the same functionality. Many times they were not as intuitive, or took many more steps to complete tasks. Also the cost was better when you factored in what you got and who could use it. Many LMS would not work well with younger … Incentivized Helpful?
