Here are some comparison from my research.These checkboxes are functional. So I have been looking at using Evernote for this or utilizing Google Drive a little differently where students can post links to their work with reflections on a blog. I want my students to reference their work and not just forget it is there. I want students to have everything in one spot which is easily accessible. When students turn things in using Schoology, they have access to all of their assignments, but it isn't as easy as flipping through a notebook. I want it to be a portfolio of their best work. This year, I want to utilize the digital science notebook a little more. It was easy for me to grade the exams, and I didn't have to carry around stacks of essays to read, it was all online. My students can take multiple choice, fill in the blank, as well as essay type exams.
Schoology also lets my students have structured online conversations, and it is great for exams. I could also assign grades in Schoology and I could grade assignments anywhere. I could give students feedback, they could resubmit their work, and there was no way for me to loose a paper or for the student to say "I swear I turned it in" because everything is timestamped when submitted online. I really liked using Schoology to collect all the assignments. Some students still did not feel comfortable creating and doing all assignments on the iPads, so they always had the choice to create things on paper.) (I gave my students the option on how to complete their assignments. In addition, many times students were still doing their work on paper. So I wasn't really collecting anything on paper, but I was still giving them handouts with instructions. If students wrote something by hand, they would take a photo of it in google drive, then submit it to Schoology. Sometimes they would share their google docs with me when I used the scripts Autocrat or Doctopus. Students would write papers in google docs, then submit them to Schoology for me to grade, or post the work on their blog.
Last year, I had students use Google Drive, Blogger, and Schoology for a lot of their work.
