Clean up that LMS!

Tech Tip Tuesday (May 23, 2023)

Almost there!

Depending on your LMS and how your district is set up, you might think you are in good shape, but there are a few key steps you really need to make sure happen.

Step 1: Return ALL ungraded work. Most LMSs have a handy spot to see what work this applies to.

In Schoology, there is an area in the upper right corner that shows you what work needs graded or completed.
In Google Classroom, go to your “To Review” list.

Step 2: Archive/preserve your current content.

This depends on your LMS.

With Schoology, add teaching materials, assignments, and assessments you want to use again next year to your Resources. Keep yourself from having to strain to make all of those items again, as well putting a clear eye towards your own planning in 2023-24.
With Google Classroom, you will need to archive your current courses (and talk to the folks you might co-teach with) to clean up your Classroom homepage. You can re-use content from these classes even when they are archived. It will also keep your homepage clear of clutter and read for August.

Step 3: Clean up Google Drive.

Using an LMS like Schoology or Google Classroom is beneficial when it comes to your Google Drive. Both of these systems take care of the organization with work and assignments. This will leave you time to focus on cleaning up/organizing the random non-LMS related files we all accumulate over the course of a school year.
