to give you the tools and connections to engage students more efficiently and improve educational effectiveness on both a large and small scale.

Teaching isn't easy. All too often educators are asked to achieve high goals with meager resources and distracted students. No technology alone can improve learning, but an intimate partnership between educational institutions and technology developers can. Our mission is to empower you-to give you the tools and connections to engage students more efficiently and improve educational effectiveness on both a large and small scale. Schoology isn't just an LMS. It's a living, breathing educational community that can adjust to changing student needs, learn from collective experiences, and continually improve as education and technology advance. We strive to provide an unparalleled educational experience that improves student outcomes by providing educators information and insights that were never before possible. Schoology hopes not only to illuminate why particular students learn the way they do, but also to provide support and personalized content that is tailored to them. Schoology is transforming learning through the collaboration of passionate individuals. We're on a unique journey, and this is just the beginning.

Prism

Prism is a tool for "crowdsourcing interpretation." Users are invited to provide an interpretation of a text by highlighting words according to different categories, or "facets." Each individual interpretation then contributes to the generation of a visualization which demonstrates the combined interpretation of all the users. We envision Prism as a tool for both pedagogical use and scholarly exploration, revealing patterns that exist in the subjective experience of reading a text.

Currently, there are more first year teachers in the United States than teachers of any other experience level-and at many schools, most of the teachers have only been teaching for a few years.
