I was excited to attend this session because we are currently using Study Island at our school. I know that I am not completely utilizing all of the tools built into the program and I was really hoping for some tricks and tips from the teachers side. However, the material presented was more from the student side, but did show lots of features that I did not know were offered to the students.
One huge piece of learning is that the folks at Study Island have aligned the state and Common Core standards already in a document and there are also endless tutorial videos on challenging to teach topics within the program. We've used this program for 4 years and I had no idea these features existed. It will certainly impact the way the program is used in the classroom for me. For all participants Study Island gave a free 28 day classroom trial beginning in August.
