S1 E17: “6 Reasons Why Grading in Schoology Can Make your Life Easier”

JOIN us on March 10 during lunch periods or after school where we discuss and begin to actually link our Schoology and PowerSchool gradebooks. Or listen to our podcast here!


*A brief recap *

Why should you use the Schoology Gradebook

  • Reason 1: Consistency between gradebooks
  • Reason 2: Keep the work in the hands of the students (literally — I don’t take it away)
  • Reason 3: Provide feedback DURING the process, not just after the product (Formative assessment)
  • Reason 4: Encourage a more paperless classroom
  • Reason 5: Hub your materials — efficiency
  • Reason 6: Greatly improved accuracy with grade sync

What can you do with Schoology?

  • Accept and grade a wide variety of submission types 
  • Create and use rubrics 
  • Create Google Drive Assignments
    • Students work from templates (documents or slides)
    • Collaborate with students during the process
  • Use autoscore features from assessments and edpuzzle assignments
  • Allow for resubmissions and rescoring
  • Track scoring comments to PowerSchool from the Schoology gradebook
