Schoology.com is a website that allows you to make a virtual classroom. The interface looks very much like facebook ,so the students will not have any trouble using this particular website. Sometimes the learning curves for websites or new tools for students is steep. But with this Facebook-like interface the students will be able to jump right in with hardly any walk throughs.
In Schoology.com, I created multiple classrooms, assignments, and even assessments. This is a wonderful tool. Everything is self-contained on this website. This, however, could be a problem if it ever was to crash. I loved the easiness of creating any and everything on this website. I know this sounds like I am on their payroll but it is a fantastic tool. If or when I get enough computers in my classroom this is what I will be using.
I created 4 separate sections for Biology I and one separate Biology I online. The sections allow you to have different rolls but the same assignments. I do not know if there is a limit to the amount of classes you can have, but I haven’t reached it. I currently have five classes on this website.
I built a complete test on here just to see how you would go about doing this and it worked out brilliantly. You can choose whether or not to allow students to review their questions, how many attempts they get, time limits, and so many other tools. All those different settings were just for assessments. This is a very thorough website.
