Schoology Update
Reminder - Schoology is the new home for Distance Learning where kids, teachers, and parents will go to look for assignments. Parents and students will use this technology to not only view assignments but to help stay in touch with the teachers.
Likewise, students will receive information about how to access the Schoology experience by 8/28. Resources from LCPS are being developed to teach students how to navigate and use Schoology. The Ed Tech team will provide a short intro video and will also be providing short tutorials and practice activities that teachers will be able to take and use in their courses.
