    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.

    Chose Schoology Learning
    Schoology has far more options than any of the above three as far as communication, dissemination of information, and assignment and test updates and tracking. Moodle was fairly primitive in its design; Blackboard is a bit clunky in its use, and, while Google Classroom is …

    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.

    Chose PowerSchool SIS
    We used a different grade management system over 5 years ago that was efficient but not as user-friendly as Powerschool. I cannot remember the name of that application. Our school system has been using PowerSchool for over 5 years and so far it has served our purpose. Each year …

    Chose PowerSchool SIS
    Each of the above products has great features, but PowerSchool has features that each of the above products has, all in one system. This means that you could more easily use JUST PowerSchool without needing extensions and other systems to supplement features. This is less …
