You Get an LMS! And you get a LMS! Everyone Get's an LMS!

What is an LMS? An LMS , Learning Management System, is used to host and track online learning. Last year, we used Schoology as our LMS to deliver instruction to ALL students.


This year, our goal is to use the LMS (Seesaw PK-1 and Schoology 2-5) in a very purposeful, balanced way to deliver instruction to our students. If you have an online resource or activity, it is best practice to house it in your LMS to ensure consistent routines for online work. A balance of online and offline activities increases engagement and makes learning more powerful. Why? Because you, as the teacher, are the best tool for the learning objective!


The graphic below can be used to grow your expertise in either Seesaw or Schoology, the LMS for your grade level. If you would like to set a goal and grow in your use of these tools for more powerful instruction, please do not hesitate to reach out to me to schedule an appointment.
