Schoology to IC Grade Passback update

Great news! If you use the Schoology to IC Grade Passback feature, Infinite Campus updated this past weekend to eliminate a step. So previously it was this:

Now you can change it so that when you click a button in Schoology, the student grade in IC updates immediately!

To do this, go to your Gradebook by going into Main Menu > Instruction > Gradebook. Choose Settings > Non-Campus Assignment Defaults. Change Default Standards/Grading task to Semester. This means that all assignments and their grades will go directly into Infinite Campus. 

The Schoology to IC Grade Passback documentation has been updated on page 5 with this latest update.

Tech Tool: Quizziz

written by Kristen Harms/ posted by Elegan

	Comparable to Kahoot, students interact with the quiz on their own device.  Students see the questions on their screens to help them stay engaged virtually.
A Quizizz can also be assigned for asynchronous or self-paced work.  This option can be used for review outside of class.
	Quizizz offers a library of teacher created quizzes.
Quizizz grades and provides feedback to the student.

Using Schoology Assessments as 'Target Checks'

Do not feel limited to giving only summative tests or quiz with the word Assessment. You can give Schoology Assessments as a formative assessment and call them 'target checks' to clarify the difference to the students. Check out this less-than-a-minute video from Jenny Proffitt at Parkway's TLA. This video shares how she used the Schoology Assessment settings and various question types to check for student understanding.

Multiple Questions on a Page in Schoology Assessments

This tip is from Veronique Lynch from Parkway South High. Veronique Lynch put multiple questions on a page so that students can refer to the image or audio prompt on the same page. Veronique was able to do this for fill in the blank dropdown question and fill in the blank text question in Schoology Assessments. Watch this 1-minute video to see what it looks like!
