Schoology

Let's go sit down and do your homework." Help with the transition.

What if you open up your folder or you open up your, your, your, um, you know, your Schoology and your, and, and your Google Classroom and there's this whole list of assignments, and it's just overwhelming, and some kids just can't see it.

It's a lot, yeah.

It's a lot.

Technology also consumes a substantial portion of school budgets.

Districts now rely on large subscription-based administrative systems like PowerSchool and Schoology, along with countless instructional programs, communication platforms, monitoring tools, curriculum packages, and other subscription services.

Do you know what technology budgets are not allowed to buy with technology money? Pencils.

I'm not arguing that all tech is bad.

All those settings are determined ahead of time, and now I've got an assignment.

Once I've got kids in those classes, then I can push that out to them on whatever learning platform you're on, Schoology, Canvas, whatever it is.

You can push that out to them so that they see the due date, and they can get that done.

So various things happening here.

Those are two very different goals.

The perfect notes and rhythms is much further down the road in their development.

Okay, regarding push out to Schoology, you were talking about listing the assignment, but SRF doesn't link to Schoology for grade entrance.

Correct, that is correct.

iPads and technology was really integrated into curriculum.

They have Schoology and all of these different apps.

Which is terrible,

yeah.

Uh, instruction on whiteboards is essentially through a laptop that is projected onto, onto the wall.

Uh, as you get older, your n- your papers are submitted through Schoology or some program.

Uh, your reading list is there.

Uh, your-- the readings that aren't co- you know, the, the r- the readings that would, would've been handed out when we were kids like as stapled, uh, you know, mimeograph things, uh, are just there on the screen and, and the entire educational system was seduced [clears throat] by the tech system into full adoption of the screen, such that we then got to 2019, 2020, we got to COVID, and it was like, "Hey, this is really great.

Like, yeah,

I've been doing it every I've been in fucking Schoology for fucking.

I took you to magnesium.

I cannot.

If and when and we know it's when I go to hell, when I arrive, they will make me log in

through Schoology.

that is what's going to happen.

I do not understand.
