I used both this past school year and I am torn - they both have their drawbacks - schoology is LOTS of clicking through to get to what you’re looking for. Uploading is annoying because of having to look through SO MUCH text to be sure you’ve uploaded to the correct file. Google classroom had a limit of 10 kids when I used it last (I hear they’ve fixed this?) and was very glitchy when having everyone on video at once. Uploading was way easier for me though! It’s not hard to upload to schoology- it’s just a bit tedious - which is a great word to describe my entire experience with schoology both as a teacher and as a parent! Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Google classroom worked well with our school. We also used loom to record teacher lessons and zoom to share videos and it lets you monitor if students watch the whole video.

Google Classroom

Sorry, didn't see the rest of the question. GC is easy to use, integrates well and easily with many other chrome extensions and platforms.

Google Classroom is compatible with a lot of other websites and programs which makes it easier for students. I don’t know if that is true with Schoology.

I'll be able to tell you in a couple months - My whole district is moving to Schoology. Our IT guy called it "google classroom on steroids". One plus is that it's owned by PowerSchool so that integration - grades & attendance - is seamless.

I also enjoy teaching life skills, such as investing, and would love recs

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.
