Study Island implementation Ideas

Below are several ways schools use Study Island:

"Our teachers use the Study Island outline of the state standards to map out the year’s curriculum. They use the weekly reports to determine which students are mastering the concepts and which are not. From these reports the teachers either give review worksheets from Study Island or they send the student to tutoring on the specific concept they are struggling with."

"We have a computer room dedicated just for Study Island. We have used the site to create standardized tests to give to our students every six weeks as a paper and pencil test."

"My students are to complete Study Island as part of their daily homework assignment. If students score advanced on a topic they earn extra credit. This is then an incentive to work on the program and do well."

"We use it in several ways. We have a resource teacher that gives daily instruction. We also use Study Island for remediation in an after-school program, and we have a Study Island parent student night from 6-9 pm where the lab is open for students that do not have an Internet connection at home."

"We have implemented Study Island as a vital part of our Reading, Math and Writing programs. Teachers will come as a group into the computer lab for whole group instruction in core areas. Some teachers implement the program as centers in their classrooms. Children are always allowed to complete activities at home as well."

I hope this helps! As always, feel free to contact me for further usage ideas and suggestions.
