PE4_Schoology.com

Hello Everyone,

Time for more light to shine!!!


I am new to schoology.com and eager to see the features and benefits of the website.

 I am currently working on my newest project for my ETC class for the EMDT program at Full Sail University.  My focus for this assignment is to find a web 2.0 tool for teachers to be able to effectively communicate with parents, colleagues, or with students.  That is were schoology.com comes into play.  Schoology.com is a learning management tool and also a social networking site.  The cool thing about schoology.com is that is looks just like Facebook.com and it is safe for your students to navigate.  
From creating a schoology.com account, I was able to create a class and also post information for the class.  


You can also add members to your class by sending them an email containing the access code. 
When you create the account you become the administrator for your account that allows you to post assignments and different items of the categories.  Being new to the website, I had to play around with it and learn how to navigate through it.  I also found that there is a calendar where you can add different events that are due or that you are going to do for your class.  

Having a schoology.com account could cut the use of paper in half.  You can send the homework to students via schoology.com and since it is on your computer you can grade it and post the grades.  Since the majority of your work is computer based you can create folders of different assignments.  This can make for a better environment.
