The second feature is that the overall program navigation is very intuitive. A logical flow to a platform will enhance the experience for the teacher and the students. The last reason is that I feel the Schoology is developmentally appropriate for Middle Schoolers. #ww571

I have selected schoology.com/ as the LMS platform for my instructional unit. Many features of Schoology make it inviting for this purpose. The first is that there is a large network of users that will be a great resource while I am building my program. #ww571

sites.google.com/ As I explore Google Sites as a possible host for my course, I feel it is not a good fit. The program is very easy to use but lacks flow. The students would need to navigate multiple pages or extremely long pages in order to obtain the information. #ww571
schoology.com/ Schoology is definitely a modern LMS. The user experience feels similar to Facebook. I can see this being a great fit for most middle schools. The navigation is easy to understand from the student perspective. I appreciate the simplified look! #ww571
moodle.org/ As I explore Moodle, I feel like it is a better fit for High School or Post Secondary students. The navigation is not overly clear, and it is very text heavy. However, I really like the ability to create flow from one activity to the next. #ww571

CTA) I will find an upcoming lesson (within the next month) that I can modify to become more student centered. #mmslead21
A3) The scope and sequence of our content might not be covered to the level it needs. #mmslead21
A2) The learning becomes student paced. The lessons are not dictated by our planning. #mmslead21
A1) The class is guided by student learning. Their questions lead the discussion and activities. #mmslead21
