Schoology is referred to as a Learning Management System (LMS). By using Schoology, teachers are able to hand out anything digitally to students, such as worksheets, notes, rubrics, pictures, videos, and any other resources needed for a lesson. Students are able to hand in assignments directly to their teacher on Schoology. They can also be assigned discussions with the entire class or just a few friends. Quizzes are also taken on Schoology. Once anything is graded, students are provided with immediate feedback. The best part about Schoology is if a student has internet access at home, they can finish or make up missed work while at home! Course updates can be sent out by the teacher and students can post questions at any time! If you did not receive your parent access code at the beginning of the year, please contact Mrs. Samsel for more information!
