With the BookWidgets Schoology integration, you can create more than 40 interactive exercises like active plots, automatically graded tests, worksheets and flashcards right from within Schoology. Choose an exercise template, and adapt it with your own lesson content.
Create educational games such as crosswords, word search puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, memory games, and much more. Use them for both classroom and individual activities. BookWidgets exercises work on all devices, even on your students’ smartphones!
With BookWidgets, you have the tool to deliver tailor-made education to your students. The possibilities are endless: create small exercises to supplement textbooks, complete lessons or extensive webquests.
Combine images, text, video, audio, quizzes and interactive “widgets” or exercises with which students can learn and practice at their own pace.
Open the “widget” library right inside Schoology, and choose to create your own assignments and tests, quizzes, interactive exercises, worksheets, whiteboards, educational games, flashcards, interactive maps, and much more.
BookWidgets automatically grades almost all student work, of course letting you adjust grades where necessary. When you’re done, you can return your students’ work via Schoology, sending grades immediately to Schoology’s gradebook, so you can follow your students work and evolution over time.
Monitor your students’ progress in real-time while they’re working on BookWidgets assignments in Schoology, from home or in your classroom.
Immediately discover students that need extra challenges, help struggling students, play live games, take real-time surveys, and much more!
Teachers tell us that using BookWidgets in Schoology has some great benefits:
Students can make all BookWidgets exercises on a smartphone, tablet, Chromebook or PC, so printing is no longer needed. Tens of thousands of photocopies per year less: that’s good for the wallet and the environment.
Thanks to the automatic grading of assignments and tests, BookWidgets reduces 80% of your grading work. This time can be better spent assisting, motivating, and coaching students. Much more useful, wouldn’t you agree?
Students that cheer when you hand out assignments? It happens if that assignment is BookWidgets! And what is more motivating for a teacher than motivated students?
