Schoology is the learning management system used in our district to communicate announcements, instructions, assignments, calendars and any other information from teacher to student or student to teacher. Folders are used to organize and categorize everything to make it easy for student to get what they need. Links to web materials or videos or Google forms etc can be provided through Schoology which all students have access to through their account.

Engaging students in the online setting is difficult. I like the idea of doing exactly what we are doing here and using a discussion board to require students to take an active role in the lesson. Chat features of online meeting apps might also be a way to require students to engage in the lesson. Making these things a requirement would force students to participate at least at a minimal level.

I make e mail folders for everything and have a folder for important e mails that I go back and check on a regular basis. If I don’t have time to respond to something immediately, I stick it in the “important” e mail folder and go back to it later in the day. Each student that I correspond with on a regular basis gets their own folder as well. Correspondence with students is quick and easy and folders help prevent students requests for help from “falling in the cracks” during the day.
