Berkeley County Schools tutorial shows students how to message teachers in Schoology
Summary
An instructional video from Berkeley County Schools explains two ways students can read and send messages in Schoology: using the envelope icon or messaging directly from a course's Members list. The presenter demonstrated reading unread messages, composing new messages, and attaching files or media.
An unidentified staff member for Berkeley County Schools explained how students can read and send messages to teachers in Schoology in a short instructional video.
The presenter said, "In the upper right hand corner of your ribbon, there is an envelope," and showed that a yellow-circle number on the envelope indicates unread messages. The video demonstrated clicking the envelope to open individual messages or using "view all" to see multiple messages.
The presenter described two options for sending messages. The first is to click the envelope icon and choose "new message," then type the instructor's name; the presenter cautioned that the instructor's name "might not pop up and show your instructor, so you can just click it." The second option is to open the specific course, select "Members" on the left, locate the teacher listed first, click the gear icon beside their name and choose "send message," which the presenter said "is going to auto populate that it's being sent to the instructor, so that way there's no question that the right person receives your message."
The presenter also showed composing a subject and message and using the file link to upload an attachment, send a link, include a resource from the student's resource page, or add an audio or video recording.
The video closes after the presenter repeated that there are "two different ways you can send messages" and thanked viewers. The presentation was instructional only; no formal actions, votes, or policy changes were discussed.
