The video titled "Schoology Navigation Basics" by Angela May is a comprehensive guide for students on how to navigate and use Schoology effectively. Here's a detailed summary of the video:

Logging into the Portal: Angela starts by advising students to log into the portal and double-check that they're logged into their own account, especially if they share devices.
Accessing Schoology: Students should click on 'Core Tools' to find Schoology. She emphasizes that the tools might differ slightly for high school, middle school, and elementary students.
Checking Schoology Landing Page: Once in Schoology, it's a good practice to check the name in the upper right corner to ensure the correct account is in use. The Peninsula School District logo in the upper left corner always brings you back to the landing page.
Organizing Courses: Angela demonstrates how to reorder courses for easier access. Only the first 12 courses appear initially, but they can be rearranged by going to 'Courses' > 'My Courses' and using the 'Reorder Courses' button.
Using the Course Dashboard: She also explains the course dashboard feature for organizing courses and how changes there reflect on the regular courses button.
Managing Groups and Extracurricular Activities: Similar to courses, groups related to extracurricular activities can also be reorganized.
Changing Password for Mobile App: For students who use Schoology on mobile devices, Angela shows how to update the Schoology password to match the Peninsula School District password through 'Settings'.
Setting Up Notifications: She advises turning on notifications for each course to stay updated. This can be done from the notification button within each course.
Using the Notification Bell and Calendar: The notification bell in the banner shows recent updates and notifications. The Schoology calendar is beneficial for tracking assignments and due dates across courses. Angela recommends using color coding for different classes in the calendar.
Communicating with Teachers: The Schoology messages tool is highlighted as a way to communicate directly with teachers.
Seeking Help: Angela concludes by inviting students to reach out with questions or concerns to service central at psd401.net.

This tutorial is aimed at helping students effectively navigate and utilize the various features of Schoology for a more organized and efficient learning experience.
