Navigating Schoology for Academic Success

Schoology is a platform designed to resemble Facebook that has been around for a long time. As such, there's many features you might not know about that can help you get around faster and easier.

Home Page

Schoology's home page has many features. You can toggle between a feed-like view and a list of your courses. On the right, you'll also see upcoming assignments and past scores.

Class Page

Each class has many features. Most students focus on the list of materials, but even that has more than you think. You can click on "all materials" and choose a filter. In the filtered view, you can see even more info per assignment.

Each class also has its own list of upcoming assignments on the right. You can click on each one to read it.

On the left, you'll see the navigation between materials, updates, grades, mastery, attendance, and any plugins installed. Many school districts don't use mastery and attendance, and most teachers don't use updates or grades. However, you can find detailed reports if there is data present in each page.

Two more things: On the top, you'll find two buttons. You can change your notification settings, and you can also quickly switch between sections by clicking on the notebook icon.

And Much More

Schoology also includes a variety of other pages such as groups, resources, grades, search functionality, apps, a calendar, and notifications. Each of these pages provides additional tools and features that can enhance your educational experience and help you stay organized.
