This year, Berkeley County School District has implemented the SCHOOLOGY LMS (Learning Management System). It will be integrated with Power School, Go Formative, Googe Classroom, and more. We will be training the students on its use . Google classroom will no longer be the primary LMS.
Google Drive/Docs Suite of applications for your students use. Google Docs offers a word processor (Docs), a spreadsheet application (Sheets), a presentation application (slides) and a cloud based storage application (Drive). Each of these applications is fully managed by the Berkeley County School District and allows your student to safely work on assignments from any internet enabled device. These applications not only allow your student work from home, saving files to Drive and seamlessly reopening them from school, but documents can also be shared with teachers and fellow students allowing group collaboration in real time.
ASSIGNMENTS: All assignments, including homework, will be created using Schoology or Big Ideas Math. Each assignment will posted in the Schoology feed, and will include assignment details and due dates. If a worksheet or other document is included with the assignment, each student will receive his or her own unique copy of the assignment via Google Docs/Drive or directly from schoology. Your student can access the attached files, complete the work electronically, and return it for grading automatically. Once submitted for grading, the student can no longer access the document. I will be notified of the receipt and can grade it online, returning the graded document to your child. This process will dramatically streamline and simplify assignments. Now, there will be no such thing as a paper left at school or home. It will always be online, easily accessible. (for those with no computer access, paper copies will be available). New items will show on the UPDATE page
RESOURCES: A MATERIALS tab will be visible within your students "schoology" page. A stream of resources will be posted. I will be posting any PowerPoint (slides), Notebook (smart board files), graphic organizers or guided notes that are used in class to this website in the appropriate subject's 'file cabinet'. If your student needs printed copies of the lessons or other resources, you are free to print them out as needed. You may also review any lessons as needed to assist your child in studying.
CALENDAR: I will maintain a calendar of important dates using google calendar and SCHOOLOGY.
