What is Schoology?

Schoology is a learning space that enhances communication, collaboration, and personalized learning for students, teachers, and families.

Teachers use Schoology to post their classroom materials online; to provide a safe forum for students to discuss their ideas and collaborate on projects; and to assign and collect homework electronically. It helps students stay organized and it keeps the class connected.
