Schoology: Adding Questions to Banks

Hello everyone! I am joining the Tech Tip Tuesday. I am going to give tips on various tools you can use in Schoology. I hope the below information will help.

If you are like me, you may use schoology for tests or quizzes and once you create a question more than likely you will use it again at some point in the school year or at the very least next school year. I would hate for all of that time creating questions to go to waste. So remember to always save your questions in your personal resources.

Click options and then "Add Questions to Bank." You can add all of your questions or just the ones you want to save.

In order to find them later they will be located under Resources and then Personal.

I hope this helps and if you ever need help on how to do something in Schoology let me know.

Preventing Cheating on Schoology: By Amanda Cross

Hello Friends! So I am going to spend the next few Tuesday's showing you ways to control cheating on Schoology. It is not a fix all and won't prevent it but it sure does slow it down and make it more difficult to cheat. The first thing I always do when administering a test or quiz on Schoology is check my settings! The picture below shows several settings that I use to help with cheating. Randomize Order: I always randomize the questions as much as possible. So that no one person is on the same question at the same time. I also tell students this so that maybe they will think " I can't look at my neighbor because they will have a different question." Resumable: I always set resumable to NO on a test or quiz because if they go out of schoology it will not let them back into that test and they will have to come see me to be let back in. Then I can ask them why they got out of the test/quiz. Now with this setting you will have...

Yellkey By: Anna Bishop

http://www.yellkey.com/ · YellKey.com comes in handy when you want others in a class, meeting, or presentation to open a URL. YellKey is a temporary URL shortener—the longest a shortened URL can last is 24 hours. The advantage of being temporary is that the final part of the shortened URL (a.k.a. the “key”) can be reused, making it unnecessary to use complicated keys. YellKey provides short URLs with common English words that are easy to pronounce and to type. They always start with yellkey.com and end with a random key. An example of a shortened link is yellkey.com/hour . Other “keys” I’ve seen in YellKey’s URLs include happen, small, across, it, know, make, and memory. · You don’t get to choose your key, but if you are unhappy with the key you are given, you can simply enter the full URL again to get a different key.

Locking iPads in Apple Classroom By: Amanda Cross

Locking students into a specific app on their iPad: Good afternoon! Here is another great way to monitor what students are doing on their iPads in your classroom. When giving a test, quiz, or assignment, I lock them into that app if at all possible by using Apple Classroom. By doing this they can't leave that app and go to another app on their iPad. Below you will find a quick 2 minute video that will show you how to do this. Just remember you have to have that app on your iPad and the student must have that exact app as well. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! https://youtu.be/RBgJqxsBoFM
