IC/Schoology Grade Passback Set Up Instructions
Here are the instructions on how to set up your IC and Schoology gradebooks for the latest version of the grade passback connection so that each assignment and student scores get passed from the Schoology gradebook into your Infinite Campus gradebook.
Copying Schoology Grade Book Settings
How to copy your grade book settings from a previous course. This is useful in setting up your Spring Semester courses by copying all the settings, rubrics and grading scales from the Fall semester section.
Linking Sections & Editing Section Names
How to link sections of the same course so that you only have to upload materials once. Also how to change the default section names that are imported from Infinite Campus due to the OneRoster sync.
Kami Assignments in Schoology (STUDENTS)

Schoology GRADING GROUPS
Schoology Grading Groups makes having to differentiate for students with an IEP/504 (or other needs) simple and easy. This is the easy way to assign timed quizzes that have extended time for some students in your courses.

Scan and Submit Work Directly to Schoology with a Cellphone
UPDATED AS OF 8/27/2020. In this video I show you how to scan documents as PDFs using your smart phones and turn them into Schoology.
SCHOOLOGY + TURNITIN.COM
Create a Turnitin assignment in Schoology for students to upload work allowing you to run a similarity report that checks any student submission for plagiarism. You can use all the Turnitin functions just like before, including their rubric maker, within Schoology and have the score automatically populate in your Schoology gradebook. This includes any Google Doc.
SCREEN RECORDING TOOLS (SCREENCASTING)
This is my top pick for teachers. There are many solutions and you should go with the one you are most comfortable with but this is the best for the everyday teacher after using all the rest. I recommend the 3 year $36 plan which includes the video editor. Having the ability to edit your video built into the tool is a must.
