Student Schoology Basics Tutorial
Keywords: Student Schoology Basics, Student Schoology Tutorial Aliases: <span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"> </span> 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.

How to View Schoology Course as Student
Keywords: Courses, Schoology, Student View Aliases: View Course As View Course As is a function that enables Course Admins to view courses as a specific member or student would. How do I use View Course As? To use View Course As, click Course Options under the course photo. Then, you can select a member from the list and navigate the course from their perspective. Once you have finished viewing your course as that member, you can either enter in another member's name in the banner at the top of the page or click Back to Course to return to your regular view. Note: In order to use View Course As, there must be at least one member enrolled in the course. If you want to View Course As before students have been added as members, you can add a peer or teaching partner to the course and leave as a member (no admin roles). Can I submit work on students' behalf using the View Course As feature? Assignments The Submit button for assignments is not available for instructors using View Course As. View Course As does not enable instructors to submit assignments on behalf of students. Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive Assignments View Course As does not work with Google Drive Assignments or OneDrive Assignments. When a student accesses a Google Drive or OneDrive Assignment and clicks My Document, a unique copy of the original Google/OneDrive document is created for the student to edit. Therefore, if a Course Admin uses the View Course As feature to preview the course and open a Google Drive or OneDrive Assignment, the assignment will display as the Course Admin normally sees the assignment from their own view (including the In Progress and Submissions tabs). Attempts to click the document link from within the assignment will result in a "Private Access Only" message and exit View Course As. Note: See these articles for more information about the student view in these apps: Google Drive Assignments and Microsoft OneDrive Assignments. Test/Quizzes and Assessments You are not able to Resume or Start New Attempt for test/quizzes and assessments while using View Course As. As such, neither are you able to submit test/quizzes and assessments for students from this view. Notes: Instructors can preview Course Assessments as well as Test/Quizzes prior to administering them. Observational grading for Assessments allows instructors to enter responses on behalf of students.
