Schoology

Pros: All my kids' communications about school in one location! All school records and conversations in one place.

Cons: Organization through the software opens more windows, if you do not have the app, and can be confusing.

Pros: Schoology is a great LMS that has the ability to post a variety of advanced coursework yet has an icon heavy easy to read navigations for young learners. Our district switched to standards based grading and we were able to make a customized gradebook with proficiency scales for standards in schoology. We also love the options for discussion boards and annotations in courses in schoology.

Cons: It is easy for teachers to share resources with students but not so much between teachers. They can create groups where the post materials for each other to use but there's not the google drive equivalent of "make a copy" for course or other larger material. Teachers end up recreating content from others that could easily be duplicated.

Pros: Schoology provides a mobile app that allows you to view grades, access class resources, and turn in assignments as you would on the web. Additionally, it allows users to single sign on with their school Gmail account, which reduces the need for passwords.

Cons: The UI is generally out of date and the mobile app is definitely not the most user friendly. Additionally, the site doesn't allow you to remove parents associated with students and delete those accounts once you no longer want to check their grades. Also, the site errors out a lot when trying to submit assignments or take tests or quizzes.

Pros: It works; it is reliable and doesn't typically run into bugs or other issues. It has a decent amount of customization as well.

Cons: It's very ugly; compared to some other common LMS products, it looks clunky and old-fashioned. It also feels like it is not as robust as some other systems.

Pros: The ability to recreate a class with ease and hide/unhide assignments makes the school year a breeze to organize!

Cons: Really nothing of note! In the past, the limit to word docs would have been a hindrance, but it is no longer the case and it seamlessly works with Google apps.

Pros: Being able to post assignments that are easily viewable by students

Cons: You should change the fact that websites that are linked automatically open in Schoology

Cons: Realmente en los cinco años que llevo usando Schoology no he tenido ninguna desventaja

Pros: I liked the ability to have grades, assignments, and course materials on one platform.

Cons: Schoology was not as user friendly as other platforms such as Google Classroom. You could also only attach 1 link or doc at a time.

Cons: Sometimes the user interface isn't the most clear.

Pros: Easy to use, clear layout, could add links to microsoft sway previous learning material.

Cons: There was space for learning material, but from my time in using it there wasn't any space for overly interactive learning activities.

Pros: I liked how easy it was to set up multiple classes. It was a great platform for students, they could easily figure out how to find and submit assignments.

Cons: I found it hard to communicate with students in that they didn't seem to get alerts. Also, there wasn't much in the way of customizing your site.

Pros: It had a free version that offered alot of features

Cons: It was very american based and didnt cater well to the NZ system of education (levels etc)

Pros: Schoology makes it easy to create different types of quizzes and tests, and makes grading even easier.

Cons: The automatic grading would mark answers wrong if there was any spacing or punctuation differences, requiring me to edit the incorrect answers.

Pros: I like the way quizzes and test can be created.

Cons: It is difficult to create new quizzes and assign them to multiple classes

Pros: Schoology has made my teaching life so much easier. I have used many different grade book apps/websites for over 15 years. Schoology is by far the best I've ever used. It's very easy to learn the ins and outs. I like that I can easily contact my students/parents if a problem arises. I have found it beneficial that students can view their current grades and see if they have any missing assignments. One of Schoology's best features is that you can import assignments through Blackbook. It will then grade students' responses automatically. It gives you the ability to create your assignments, edit previous assignments, and has a section where you can save every assignment over the years. Its made my life much easier since our county integrated Schoology.

Cons: I can't think of any cons except if you click through different pages too quickly it will give you an error. But this does not affect the overall quality of Schoology.

Pros: This allows me to keep grades for all of my students easily. Schoology gives educators the ability to create assignments that automatically grade student responses. One great benefit of using Schoology is that it allows students and parents to stay current on overall grades.

Cons: It takes a bit to get used to using Schoology. But after a few days of messing around on the website, you can easily use the program.

Pros: Schoology was used when we transitioned from face-to-face to online classes. At first, since I was a first-time user, I thought it would be so hard to navigate since I am not tech-savvy. I also thought it would be so intimidating and complicated, but it proved me wrong. It was indeed beginner-friendly and very easy to use for students and even professors.

Cons: I have honestly nothing against Schoology because it was one of the biggest help I had when I transitioned from face-to-face classes to online classes.

Pros: I like the badges. I like I can upload assignments and see student work.

Cons: Wish that I could get it to work with Powerschool

Pros: I like that it is easily accessible and user friendly.

Cons: I least like that it takes a while to load the grades.

Pros: Ease of use. Student portal works cleanly. Ease to move from one class to another. Lots of choices for adding different types of questions to assessments. Easy to organize.

Cons: It would be nice to have more options for displaying content. We have found some work-arounds in adding a few variations to the straightforward listing style, but it isn’t easy. It would be nice to be able to add some flair.

Pros: I LIKE THE PROPOSAL TO MAKE MY AGENDA MORE ORGANIZED FOR WEEKLY SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

Cons: IT HAS A LOT AND I CAN'T GET ACCESS TO WHAT I NEED
