Clicker People - CPS

We are thrilled that schools will now be able to use Study Island with CPS (Classroom Performance Systems) through eInstruction. Many of us know them as the clicker people!

Students will be able to use their clickers as a study mode within Study Island. Students' results will be saved into the Study Island system for reporting in the same way that data is saved when students are logged into the program. Students are each assigned a clicker and teachers can either pull up the question through a projector in front of the room, or students can use the clickers to answer questions on a printable worksheet. Even when using the printable worksheet, if students are using the clickers to answer the Study Island questions, the program scores them and their data is saved.

If your school has a set of CPS clickers, but limited lab availability, this is a great way to gauge student proficiency on a topic without even leaving your classroom!

Study Island - continuously updated

Study Island's web-based GLCE/HSCE Mastery and MEAP/MME prep programs are now used by over 800 Michigan schools. I wanted to share with you some of the new changes we have made and continue to make to our programs.

▪ Content has been realigned for the updated 2008 GLCEs/HSCEs

▪ Expanded question bank

▪ Upload of students can contain demographic information such as race, ethnicity, special ed, etc and also can generate a subgroup performance report

▪ New reports including a performance level breakdown report of the # of students scoring L1, L2, L3, and L4 in each topic

▪ Two new games for students to play with more in the works!

▪ Ability to block content for students so that they can only access what has been assigned

▪ Filtering option on reports by date, time, and day

▪ Ability for teachers to edit the passing levels for students

These are just some of the changes. If you would like to take a look at our demo again, here is a quick link, www.studyisland.com/misales

I would be glad as well to come out and demonstrate the program for you and your colleagues.

Sincerely,
Kathleen Bendernagel
