Elementary and Kinder Teachers had their training.

Faculty from CPU Elementary School and the University Kindergarten started a series of trainings on Schoology Learning Management System on July 2-3, 9-10, 2020.

4 teachers from the University Kindergarten, 34 from the Elementary School (including the principal and the assistant principal), as well as a librarian, a lab coordinator, 2 guidance counselors and a secretary attended the training. Also present during the training was CPU Vice-President for Academic Affairs Dr. Irving Domingo Rio who observed the demo teaching.

“Schoology is very practical and easy to learn. I have been observing the training and I can see that the faculty are enjoying while learning the LMS. It’s nice to know that they’re all willing to acquire new skills through online learning,” said Dr. Rio.

University Elementary Principal Prof. Janet Jaco also shared her thoughts on the said LMS.

“For me, Schoology is a good LMS for basic education. It has a digital built-in classroom which means you don’t have to use Zoom or other apps to meet with your students. Parents can monitor their children’s performance in school since they also have their own account. As a principal, it’s easy to check on the classes and the parents as well. What we also appreciate about Schoology is that we get to have access to a lot of online resources.”

“It’s something new to us but it was very easy to learn. I cannot say that I’m an expert already, but we are taking it one day at a time,” said Elementary faculty member Mrs. Evamer Ruegg.

Schoology is a cloud-based learning management system (LMS) that provides all the needs of educators and academic institutions to create engaging content, lessons, and assess student understanding all in one platform.

Schoology is used in almost 1,000 schools all over the world.
