Dave Stitt, a Chemistry teacher at Peninsula High School, has woven Schoology into his chemistry curriculum. Below you'll find a video that walks through how he and his students are using Schoology to help facilitate learning. You will notice an older version of the Portal, but focus on the schoology Functions that Dave covers because they are all still applicable. 

Video Transcript:

Dave Stitt provides further insights into using Schoology effectively in his chemistry classroom. Here's the continuation:

He discusses the advantages of Schoology for visual learners, as it allows embedding of YouTube videos directly into lessons, providing an engaging and comprehensive learning experience. This feature is especially useful for students who benefit from audio-visual materials.

Stitt then explains his approach to practice problems and quizzes. He shows how he sets up practice problems in various difficulty levels, offering students plenty of opportunities to practice and check their understanding with provided answer keys. He emphasizes that practice is not graded, serving purely as a skill-building exercise.

For quizzes, Stitt utilizes Schoology’s question bank to create randomized quizzes. This system allows him to pull a set number of random questions from a larger pool, ensuring each quiz is unique and tailored. He also demonstrates how to set up a practice quiz before the actual graded quiz, giving students a sense of the types of questions they might encounter.

Regarding the graded quizzes, he details how to set time limits, due dates, and browser lockdown settings to prevent cheating. The quizzes can be customized to allow multiple attempts, with various options for grading these attempts.

Lastly, Stitt talks about the assignment submission and grading process in Schoology. He shows how students submit assignments, how these submissions are logged (including late submissions), and how teachers can grade and leave comments on these assignments directly within Schoology. He notes that resubmitted assignments are clearly indicated, making it easier for teachers to keep track.

The video concludes with Stitt expressing hope that the tutorial will be helpful and offering his assistance for any further questions. His detailed explanation showcases the versatility of Schoology in managing classroom activities, assignments, and assessments.
