 Hi, my name is Chris Cadna and I'm here to talk to you about making schoology work for you in this video We're gonna cover various topics. We are gonna cover how to change your notification settings How to schedule an assignment? How to copy assignments to multiple courses? How to assign differentiated assignments? How to embed Quizlet and other media into your assignments and pages? How to enforce assignment completion in a specific order? How to add images to folders on materials pages? how to customize course cards and Finally, how to add a permanent banner to update a page? All right, so we're gonna start off with notifications All right, so the first thing you want to know about notifications is you are gonna come right up here to your name And you're just gonna hit this drop-down menu and click on settings and Then come over here to notifications Click on notifications and you'll see this whole menu of various things come up And it's very simple. You just click what you want on and what you want off If you want to customize it you can customize it with each class Or every class. All right, so nice and simple and that's all there is to it as far as the notification goes Okay, our next topic Will be Just scheduling assignments. So we're gonna return to our course here. Let me get to my courses Some of my courses have been archived. So I'm gonna go into an old class. Let's call it math six All right, so how do we schedule an assignment? All right, so the right here where it says add materials that is where a majority about time is gonna be spent All right, so the first thing I'm gonna do there is click on add materials and add assignment Okay, once you're there, you're gonna name your assignment Let's just call this PD assignment and Then you can give you a description post a link right here in the description or a picture if you want to Then you're gonna pick a due date. I believe our PD is scheduled for the 14 So let's say we had a homework due on the 15th and you would click a category low medium or high Make sure this is checked off. This is what will sink us to power school Okay, this button here if you want it published immediately You leave a green if you want to not publish it. You want to delay it you unclick it Okay, I'm gonna publish it immediately so you can see it and I'm gonna click on create and Once we scroll down to the bottom here. There is our assignment nice and simple Okay All right, the next thing we want to do is how to copy assignments to multiple courses Okay, we're gonna work off of this existing assignment And it's very simple. All I want to do is go over to my little gear here click down and copy to a course Okay, now for now. I'm just the only class I'm enrolled in is this sixth grade ELA summer school class If it was during the year I would have four classes and all I would have to do is click copy Excuse me again asking for due date what type of category is the grading and Period now. There is no Grading period here because obviously we're in the summer once the school year starts. We will Have each quarter they they do it by quarters So you'll be able to click on which quarter you want this assignment to appear as Okay, and then we would just click copy and I'm not gonna click copy because I don't want this appearing in my summer school course Okay, so that is how we assign to multiple courses Okay, how do we differentiate? Okay, again very similar. Okay, so we're just gonna scroll back up and we can actually You know what? I'm gonna create a new assignment Okay and assign it same idea PD assignments Let's call this number two Hey, again, you would fill in any description here and You're just gonna go through the dude the due date. So again, we'll call it August 15th And a time it'll always ask for a time. We'll call it a high-level grade again, make sure you are syncing it because this will sync it to power school and Numeric we're gonna have an online now if you want to differentiate and only assign to a particular Group of students or even one student. Maybe they're making up a test or they were out on the day of the test And you're given a different test or that test Here's where we're gonna click it. Notice how it's grayed out once you hover over it. You have blue green and red You're gonna click on that button. Okay. Now Again, this class is archived so that I don't have a class roster on this But if I were to start writing my name is Chris CHR Anybody with CHR would automatically pop up or you can enter their last name and then you just click to assign your students this assignment and And that is as easy as it is and then again, you would click on create and that would differentiate it Okay All right, I'm not going to do that The next thing we are gonna do is how to embed For example, like a Quizlet or or YouTube anything like that right into an assignment Okay So here's what we're gonna do for that. I'm actually gonna open up another tab and we're gonna go to Quizlet Okay, and these are all my vocabulary packets We can really click on any one of them. I'm just gonna click on lesson 24 here. Okay, this will come up We're gonna go scroll down right here to our three dots Okay, and we are gonna click on embed Okay, this pop-up screen will come up. Okay, so this is actually gonna be our HTML code we're gonna copy that and We're gonna want to know which assignment in Quizlet are we doing so I'm gonna just take flash cards That is the easiest thing to do. We are gonna now go back to schoology okay Click on our add materials add assignment That's what we're gonna constantly be doing to create our assignments Okay name it Quizlet practice Whoops Okay Now next thing that's a little bit different than what we've done is we're gonna come right here that is icon here All right, this is where we're gonna insert our content We're gonna work out of this area as well a lot. Okay, so you'll get to know that area very quickly All right, we're gonna click on that and we're gonna click on image media Okay, once we are there We have two options upload for media which is attach a file or from the web we're gonna go from the web and We want media and that's where our link embedded link comes up. So we're gonna click on that paste it and then insert media Okay, and you'll notice you have this little tiny icon here. All right Our due date we will call that August 15th once again, 1159 category. We'll call it mid and Again, I'll check our synxes. This is checked off All right, and now we are going to create our assignment and once we scroll down There's our Quizlet assignment and we can click on it and There we go, right now same idea if you wanted to go right into a Specific folder you can click on that folder and Do the same process at Simon? Quizlet practice Insert content Again, you'll notice everything starts to be very similar and Very repetitive once you start to use the system Okay, we'll have a due date on this make sure your time's in there low-grade a line good create Okay, and we have our Quizlet practice Okay, so that is how we embed Quizlet or any other multimedia Exactly like that the next one. We are going to cover is importing When exporting pictures, okay, so how do we do that? All right? Let's get back to our section if I am on My home page of all my courses again, I'm going to click on add materials Okay, and this time I'm not clicking on add assignment. I'm going to click on add page This let's say import Okay, we're going to go back to our content, but this time I'm going to pull something from my Google Drive and There we go. All right, so I'm just going to click on this untitled document and We're going to click import embed Okay, and It'll automatically go in there and you just double-check to make sure you have your title which we do and then we click Create And as we scroll down there's our import Okay, so this not it wasn't necessarily an assignment Actually, that was my clickable buttons. That'll come on later. All right So that was not necessarily an assignment, but that was just pulling a resource if you're working with math numbers, you know Table of perfect squares if you're looking for a graphic organizer Anything like that you can use it as far as that goes But you can certainly do that as many times you want to pull any resource from your Google Drive Next thing we're going to cover is if you want to force your students to complete assignments in a particular way Here's our home page, right? We're going to click on options and Student completion Okay Now we are going to add a requirement. What's our requirement the requirement basically says listen I want you guys to complete lesson 17 first. That's the first thing. All right. What do I whoops? We why that's saying? I don't know. There we go. What do I want you guys to do next? Well, I want you to skip to lesson 23 and I want you to do that before you do any of the lesson and Then finally now you can go back to 20 Okay, and complete and that's how we would save those changes. I'm not going to click on that I'm just showing you just a particular order and Likewise that works within a particular lesson if you wanted to do it as well. Here's your options student completion Again, we would just make sure that's clicked off in here. You'll notice on the other page It was automatically clicked off and we're going to add requirement again We're going to have a drop-down menu and it's going to ask well. What do I want you to see first? Well, it would probably be a good idea to see the family letter first And I just want them to be the item next see the agenda and then Maybe take a look at the lesson And then save those changes again, I'm not going to save them, but that's how we would Make Specific order for our students to follow All right, the next thing we are going to do is Our little graphic up here. Okay, let me just cancel that out. They call this a course card So let me show you what I mean. So I'm just going to open up Canva Here's Canva and What you could do is Actually put in Schoology course And there you have it right there So it's very specific 262 by 146 pixels and they will once you press enter here you go. Schoology course card templates All right, so they have all these different courses science math social studies and You can pick one and customize it Or you can just leave it the way it is Let's see. I'm just gonna pick any old one. Oh, there we go math. All right, customize template Okay, so notice my card is this right now. Okay, I am going to customize this change this to Mr. Cagner Learn how to spell my own name and That is it. So at this point, I'm going to share it and Then download it And I'm going to download it as a PNG file Download and I'm going to keep that on my desktop so I can easily move it and Here's my picture. I want to edit it And I'm going to attach a file so I can just drag it right in Once it's green, you can do it and there you go. My course card just changed All right, so nice and simple next thing we are going to do is How to add images to folders on my material page? So let's take a look at that. Let's return to our course We're gonna add materials And a folder Okay, and let's just name our folder school Folder You can pick a color blue Okay, and then you are going to again return to our insert content We're going to click on image and We are going to attach any type of picture, so let's say I don't know statue Liberty Let's just grab an image of the Statue of Liberty and that looks as good as any Save image. We can save it as a download. I have it on my desktop and let's return to Schoology And we're going to attach that photo now Once it's green, you can pop it right in there and there you go Okay, you can create that and There you go. If you're studying the Civil War if you're studying the periodic table anything you can you can put in a picture just like that and Then finally, how are we going to make clickable buttons? open up a slide presentation First thing we're gonna want to do you can insert a shape you can insert Circles rectangles. We're gonna talk rectangles right now and Let's just X out of these themes here Okay, and you can put a color in here. We're just gonna make it that okay, so We are creating what's eventually going to end up in Schoology as a clickable button and What we need to do is add a text Box now I'm gonna create three buttons However many buttons you want to create that's up to you, but it the process is the same First one. I'm gonna call my agenda and You want to make your writing big enough and you want to be able to see it? So I'm just gonna make my writing a little bit bigger Make sure we are centered here All right next thing you want to do is once you're happy with that then you just Duplicate that slide however many times you're duplicating it All right, so I'm gonna go with three buttons Duplicate that one more time. All right now return to your second one here and maybe you can change your background to let's say green and I'm going to say Daily on this one daily slides All right, that looks good and finally our third one. Let's call that caller Let's go yellow. Oh nice and bright. All right contact Me Once you're happy with all three of them. Okay, you're gonna download each one of them Okay, so you're gonna come up here to file and then you come over here to download download JPEG and then finally our third one download JPEG Okay, so now you have all three Downloaded I kept them on again on my desktop so that I can just drag Right into the area that I need in school ology All right, so at this point I am going to return to school Okay, so what we are gonna do first thing is here. We're gonna have add materials and add page Okay, and what we are gonna do here is title our page header page View not Publish okay Learn out the spell You're not published. Okay. Why do we want to do that? Because we don't want the students to have the ability to edit. Okay, so the first thing I'm gonna do is come over to insert content image media and Then I'm just gonna upload my three files So once it turns green you can release And it'll upload now Remember, this is a big picture. So we want to shrink it down So it may take a couple of minutes Just to shrink it and get it to the right spot of where we want it and if you're not happy with the way it looks go back to slides and You can adjust it Okay, I think that should be good. Just make sure you have a space there same thing insert content image of media attach your second file Once it turns green it's fast Again, it'll look like it's there, but you got to pinch it and make it smaller All right, so a couple of mice movement and then we can bring it up Over there, and then you can continue to work on it and Align it the best you can make sure Obviously, it's the same size and then again insert content image media and Attach that last file can be a little tricky, but we should get it and there we go. There's our last file Too small on that one All right over here. You're gonna get your cursor back in front over here if you can This way we can There we go. All right shrink it down Raise it up and Again keep it as you can. Okay, so now we have out three buttons that we're gonna import on our page Now the next thing is to use our link and to link each one of these three So the first one I'm gonna link is Contact me But highlight it and link it so I'm gonna link my email schools Okay, click off this little box to open it up in a new tab See hang that other cancel. Okay save changes My agenda I have open so I'm just gonna copy that link Bring it back over to school G and click on my inline link Copy and paste Open link in the new tab save changes and Then finally our slides school G inline link Copy and paste and Again, make sure the link is open save changes Okay, so now all three of our buttons are linked up What you want to do is copy that whole thing right across Copy it save it for a moment now. Remember you do not want to publish this. So this is green Now it is gray or white. Okay. It is not gonna be published right now. Okay, so at this moment We're gonna create it and There's our header on a page. Okay remember so we added that to our page This can be used as a resource page for personal things that we have that we don't have to post now What are we gonna do to add to it? So the next spot? We're gonna go to is update Okay, so anything you post here will automatically Appear to the students unless you have not published it. So you're gonna pop your cursor in there and paste What we had and there's what we have and they are all linked up right now And here's the most important part of our update You want to make sure you click off that little bell because that will go right to the top Once you do that you are ready to post And there you have it. All right, so this will remain at the top of the page when the students sign in Okay, and everything is linked or should be okay. There's my daily slides. So that worked out well There's my agenda and my email page opens up for contact me Thanks for watching. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more video tutorials
