Navigate 3.1.3 Tools within the LMS

After attending ISTE 2014 in Atlanta, I knew that I wanted to learn more about Schoology, a new, free LMS. This quest gave me the opportunity to do just that!


The toolbar on the left showcases the major components of the Schoology LMS: calendar, messages, people.

Most Valuable Tool:
Having worked with high school students for the last six years, I have no doubt that the calendar is an important tool to ensure their success in an online course. I especially love the RSVP feature. Including this step in the scheduling process will slow students down and require them to reflect on their progress on an assignment or in a course in general.


Awesome Bonus Tool:
The resource tab in Schoology was an unexpected bonus. It provides easy access to information on basic skills. How cool !?
