Middle School and Highschool teachers using Scholastic News will need to follow a different method for utilizing Scholastic materials if they are utilizing Linked Course in Schoology since the current Schoology integration does not work with Linked Sections of Courses. Below you will find the directions for both Linked and Unlinked Courses. Please follow your respective set of directions.
Please Note: This method is used if you want to allow students to explore the magazines on their own. You can also attach a direct link to a Scholastic News Material. To do that, please follow the directions outline within this link: SAU19 Knowledge Base - Adding a Direct Scholastic Magazine Material Link to a Schoology Course.
Linked Courses in Schoology
