Social networking service and virtual learning environment for K-12 school and higher education institutions that allows users to create, manage, and share academic content.

This learning management system is designed to provide a digital medium to enhance classroom interactions and support webpage/content creation and collaboration.

Schoology includes useful features that include: grade book, attendance, tracking, analytics, badges, calendar, event creation, private messages, groups, and profile personalization. There are many ways to connect parents to the classroom.

Schoology offers online conversations and the option to post questions to one another through the discussion boards. You are able to include attachments and links in each post.

Schoology easily allows us to pull external resources, like Google Drive, into the program for all members to see. It is a great opportunity to help reduce paper.
