Co-teaching Tech
Schoology offers a relatively collaborative co-teaching partnership once all teachers are added as admin to the course. Courses are originally populated from PowerSchool with the content-area teacher listed as admin. Co-teachers can be added manually by following these steps.
Basic Assignments, Assessments & Discussions in Schoology
Basic assignments, assessments, and discussions in Schoology are fully collaborative meaning that any admin in the course can help create (asynchronously), view, and grade the assessment.
Updates, Calendar Events, and Materials in Schoology
Any admin in the course can create, send, share, etc. updates, calendar events, and materials within a Schoology course. Updates will show the name of the person that created and sent the update.
Google Drive Assignments in Schoology
The assignments can be created by and visible to all admin in a course if the Google Drive folders created by Schoology are appropriately shared. When a teacher creates an assignment, a folder is generated in their Google drive. Copies of each new assignment created are added to that same folder. By sharing the main folder, teaching teams will be access to view and grade all student work created in these assignments. The full "Schoology Google Drive Assignments" folder can be shared or just the folder for the individual course.v (see image)
Kami Assignments in Schoology
Kami assignments can be created and viewed by anyone listed as admin in the course. To be able to "Grade in Kami" and provide feedback on the PDF to students through the Schoology window, students need to share their "Kami Schoology Assignment" folder with all teachers. This should provide all admin with visibility to all current and future Kami assignment work from the student. (See image to the right.)
EdPuzzle Assignments in Schoology
Once the LTI tool has been added to a course, any admin can create EdPuzzle assignments, track data, and provide feedback in Schoology. Additional staff may need to select the blue "OK" button when accessing the first assignment but it should work once the sections are created in their EdPuzzle account. EdPuzzle video lessons should be created in the EdPuzzle website. All EdPuzzle assignments should be created and assessed through Schoology after the lessons have been created.
Classkick offers the opportunity for a teacher to create a second login to their account so that additional staff can login synchronously or asynchronously to participate in the class. Unfortunately, they do not have a formal co teaching model and both user logins would show with the first teacher's name. See ClassKick for instructions of how to request a second login.
Flipgrid allows for full co-teaching collaboration with their CoPilot feature. CoPilots have the same settings as the group owner including notifications. See FlipGrid for instructions on how to set up CoPilots.
Mastery Manager allows for teachers to create workgroups in Item Bank 2 to collaboratively create questions and reference materials. Either teacher can create assessments and assign sections, unfortunately, only the content teacher would have access to view student submissions and data. Mastery Manager is not part of our single sign on process so a content teacher could share their Mastery Manager login information to provide access to co teachers.
Google Tools including Google Docs, Slides, Sites, Forms, Jamboard, Drawings, and Sheets are all fully collaborative. Consider creating shared folders in Google Drive to organize and share all of your course materials. If the folder is shared, anything inside the folder will also be shared with the same level of visibility set for the folder. Using Google tools to create materials for your classes is a great way to share the work.
WeVideo allows teachers (and students) to create collaborative projects and work asynchronously on a video edit. This could be a great way for co teaching teams to both be involved with the creation of flipped lessons and other video resources for your students.
