Schoology Resources:
With the move to remote learning, we wanted to remind you of some great resources available in Schoology. Many of the classes we teach have online courses available aligned to Jeffco units of study and Colorado Academic Standards.
You can now access over 70 full year or semester courses in the Course Masters Group in Jeffco Schoology. Here is a full list of courses. These courses were created recently in partnership with the iLearn Collaborative. and embed Open Educational Resources.
Here is a Tech Tip that will walk you through how to copy the courses to your own Schoology classes. You are also welcome to use the resources and ideas in a Google Classroom.
