classroom management, and social networking platform that improves
learning through
• better communication,
• better collaboration, and
• increased access to curriculum and supplemental content
   (both inside and outside of school).

Ways Educators are Using
     Schoology to Transform Learning

1.   A football coach in Alabama uses Schoology to teach his players about opposing teams. Going one step
     further, he even quizzes them before the games and only plays those who pass.
2.   An educator in Ohio uses Schoology to teach his third-graders how to write creatively, proofread, and
     collaborate. Here's how it goes: Each student writes their own fairytale and shares it with the class.
     They then read each other’s work and critique it in an interactive discussion.
3.   While visiting Brooklyn, NY, one educator used Schoology’s mobile app to manage his classroom from
     five states away!
4.   Bridging the gap across states and learning levels, a college professor in Connecticut and a high school
     teacher in Alabama used Schoology to connect their classes for in-depth discussions about what it
     means to be a digital citizen.
5.   A school district in Missouri linked up with a village in Kenya through a Schoology Group. Separated by
     over 8,000 miles, students on both ends are sharing their cultures, discussing ideas and best practices
     of sustainable living, and even participating in a clothing drive!
