Work smarter, not harder. Some of the tech that we are using adds a little more to the planning stages of lessons, but we have the opportunity to design our assignments to lessen the amount of time spent grading. Using Schoology Test/Quizzes and Assessments can be an easy way to create a self-grading assignment. What if you need something hand written? Are you going to set-up a OneNote Class Notebook for one assignment? Probably not. Check out the tutorial for how to create assignments using PowerPoint and the Schoology OneDrive Assignments app. It's listed below as "Make PDFs Fillable in PowerPoint."

I hope that you are starting to settle into a routine. When you start planning your assignments, please feel free to reach out and schedule time with me to discuss what might work best in your classroom. Digitizing your curriculum and assignments can be fun. We just have to discover what that looks like for your class.
