Schoology Learning

• Overall, Schoology has helped our teachers transition their teaching to a more personalized format.
• Schoology has helped us better integrate technology into the school in a more useful format.
• It has helped students keep track of their work and manage their assignment in a more collaborative environment.

Fieldcrest currently uses Schoology as a district wide Learning Management System (LMS). We switched to Schoology last year and I use Schoology for almost all of my course work. I teach using the flipped classroom model and Schoology's platform allows me to share my lecture videos, conduct assessments of student knowledge and understanding, to give assignments, and to provide communication with students and parents. All of my content is available to my students through Schoology 24/7, I can make it available in a variety of ways, and I can make updates in real time. Recently, Schoology's introduction of the Google Assignment App has me excited about our switch to Chromebooks. This app allows you to attach a Google Doc (say a study guide) as part of an assignment. When students open the assignment the document is copied, renamed, and added to their Google Drive. No more students opening or copying a new version of the document each time they go back to the assignment instead of to the copy they made but didn't actually rename like the directions stated. The document is 'tied' to the assignment and updates no matter where they work on it from (inside the assignment or through their Google Drive.) Still to come, a cleaner looking interface with differentiation for elementary students!

• Update: the changes to Schoology since PowerSchool bought them have been minimal and several features have been taken away. Support is hardly worth creating a ticket.
• The administration and counselors are also utilizing the platform.
• More parents are accessing their student's coursework and communicating through Schoology that in the past.
• For us, more staff members are using Schoology than with our old LMS.

Blackboard, Canvas and Edmodo

I love using Schoology because it does help students with learning their assigned subjects. I have used this program and it is comparable to Google Classroom but what sets it apart, in my opinion, is the way that the lessons and visuals are laid out which makes it easier for the students to get on the same page as the teacher. It is a great program to use and the New York City Department of Education uses it widely in their remote learning package available to students.

• Project-Based Learning.
• Student First Approach to learning.
• Personalized Learning.

• It has had a positive impact on the business objectives.
• I think it is a great alternative to Google Classroom.

• Adaptive to different teachers course delivery needs
• Allowed us to be able to deliver content when it was impractical to do so in any other manner.
• Teacher buy-in towards their curriculum development has increased as it has become necessary for them to make the content digital and reviewable at any time as opposed to only when being evaluated.
