Logging In

HealthSmart digital integration with Schoology begins by the teacher logging in to the LMS as they would normally do. The login will appear the same way your district has configured single sign-on or SSO.

App Install

If this is the first time using HealthSmart, the teacher may need to install the app depending on the setup. On the homepage, navigate to the top menu and select the Schoology App Center (waffle icon). 

Search for HealthSmart within the list of digital tools in the App Center, then click the HealthSmart app to install to your Schoology account.

Starting HealthSmart

The homepage for teachers may look slightly different depending on how your school/district has set up Schoology. Once here, look for the launch link for HealthSmart in the app list on the left-side menu. Clicking on the launch link opens the HealthSmart app.

The HealthSmart welcome screen under Lessons will show the teacher’s name, the district name, and the LMS. The lower part of the screen shows the grade levels of HealthSmart that are included in your subscription. In this example, the school or district has purchased a subscription to middle school. You can also view what’s not included in the subscription.

 

The teacher clicks the grade level they are teaching to view content. For middle school and high school, the teacher will choose the topic to view the content area.
