Schoology (skoo.luh.jee) is the worlds leading learning management system (LMS). So what is a leaning management system? An LMS is a software application or web-based tool that is used to plan, implement, teach, and assess a specific topic. Many schools and classrooms that are turning toward blended and flipped classroom models are using a LMS to help manage the course. Schoology is one of the most user friendly and connected learning management systems.

As technology and web tools are being used more and more in classrooms today, so are new ways of instructing. Blended and Flipped learning environments are on the rise and for good reason. The blended learning model allows students to work in a classroom with a teacher in the traditional sense, as well as use computer software, LMS (learning management system), and web tools to personalize learning and work at their own pace. Using the flipped classroom model, students are able to spend class time engaging in meaningful activities because the content was obtained outside of class-time. The teacher is still teaching, using class-time to apply and practice learning. To learn more about blended and flipped classroom models, click here.
