I am solving the problem of parent communication with Schoology. As a parent myself, I can check on my child's progress whenever I want.

"Next Level Learning Management"

5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Schoology Learning?

Schoology is a learning management system with an amazing user interface that is very user friendly and accessible for elementary students while robust enough to handle student learning at all levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Schoology Learning?

I am nervous about the future of the assessment management platform in the wake of the recent developments, but confident that Powerschool will bring the power of its Unified Solution to bear on the challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Schoology Learning:

Use the Basic for a year and contact a Schoology Ambassador to help with implementation on the ground. This is an amazing platform, and definitely worth the investment, but some teachers may be hesitant to try an LMS. Given the iother options out there, though, this is the best on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool Schoology Learning solving and how is that benefiting you?

COVID 19 presented some interesting challenges, but our students experienced no interruption in instruction because of our amazing LMS! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good but has potential to be Great"

3.5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Schoology Learning?

The different types of assessment question components available.

Ability to customize instruction with individually assigning

Messaging and how it will come through to your email as well

Ability to link courses together Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Schoology Learning?

Platform "Feels" dated w/ look (needs to be updated and more modern)

Amount of glitches with student completion, gradebook syncing with PowerSchool errors, and just in general, especially with the amount of downtime

Capabilities as an admin is limited with very little reports and customization of those reports

Grading and the ability to give feedback is almost nonexistent

Need the ability for templated courses/back-end things for admin to control or lock down

There needs to be a student/teacher/parent/admin dashboard (dependent on your role in the system) to display items at a glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Schoology Learning:

Overall, Schoology gets the job done. However, I have come from a cyber environment and can see the shortcomings of the product and where it can improve. If you want a way to deliver content to students, it does accomplish that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool Schoology Learning solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a platform where teachers can have not just as an extension of their classroom but can be their entire virtual classroom. This allows them to create robust assignments and manage everything from the LMS. Because of this, it is getting teacher to re-think and re-design how they deliver content and materials to their students.

It also serves as the communication form between the school and families. It streamlines communication and where caretakers need to go to find information.

It is also the avenue used to carry out professional development. Colleagues and administrators rely on this is a the basis of their trainings or housing resources, making Schoology the one-stop-shop of where to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are wanting to use a clear approach for all students and parents. I am currently working on solving problems of finding missed work in teacher's grade books.

"Better than the competitors for Elementary though Highschool."

5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Schoology Learning?

Schoology is by far the easiest Learning Management System to use and it keeps getting better. Schoology's competitors either lack features or are designed for college age students. Its integration with PowerSchool and ability to integrate with other productions like Google workspace, Office 365, and many educational software companies make it an easy choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Schoology Learning?

I wish they had a K-2 experience, but that is being released very soon! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Schoology Learning:

Be sure to take your time and ask lots of questions during the initial setup. It would be a good idea to give teachers at least one semester to learn the product before implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool Schoology Learning solving and how is that benefiting you?

Remote instruction would not be possible for our students without Schoology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Savior during the Pandemic"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Schoology Learning?

Before the pandemic, we were introducing Schoology use to small groups of teachers. It was gaining traction and teachers were starting to use it more and more. The expectation was for full implementation by the 20/21 school year. Well, we all know what happened and Schoology allowed our Technology Instructional Advisor team to implement asynchronous professional Development courses that teachers could take quickly and easily to navigate the new waters of Distance Learning. It was easy for teachers to quickly learn and create course work and students had no trouble adapting to the " New Normal" Thank you Schoology! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Schoology Learning?

There are still some limitations and this was not K-5 friendly, but with Schoology listening to feature requests those hurdles won't be as big as updates are made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Distance Learning Made Easy"

5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Schoology Learning?

I love that my students and I can track their assignments in real time. I assign within Schoology, even using Google products, and my students receive and submit their assignments on one platform which makes things easy. When parents have a question, they are able to ask their students to open up assignments or verify submissions on the spot. No more lost papers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Schoology Learning?

There are sometimes glitches assigning directly from the Google Drive which forces me to work around it. When it is working, it makes life so much easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool Schoology Learning solving and how is that benefiting you?

We listened to our parents when they said that there were too many platforms for them to keep track of with e-learning so we, as a school, made the switch to Schoology. With the link between Schoology and PowerSchool, it has made it easier for parents to check on their students work and to communicate with teachers in one easy step. This has made life so much easier for parents, teachers, and students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
