Schoology
"The only learning management system (LMS) that connects all the people, content, and systems that fuel education." (Schoology, 2016).
Like GAFE and Edmodo, Schoology is cloud based technology and so adheres to the anytime, anyplace approach to education. Unfortunately, it is often mentioned that the mobile app is much more limited regarding what is available on a desktop. Like Edmodo, its design is similar to a Facebook page and so it is easy for most students to navigate, and allows parental access as well. It can be used to post assignments, provided feedback, and submit assignments. Unlike Edmodo, it supports video tutorials (GetApp, 2016).

Why Choose GAFE?
Like Edmodo, Schoology is very dependent on Google tools to get the job done. Its dependency on Google Drive for work submission is frequently mentioned in reviews and blogs, so again the simplicity of an integrated system like the one offered by GAFE becomes apparent. Further, while there is a free version of Schoology, if you want to access all of its features there is a cost involved.
