Welcome to the Island!Study Island Teacher Demo

Study Island is a completely web-based program based solely on our state’s teaching expectations. It is designed to prepare students for criterion referenced state assessments. Because it’s web-based, the only thing you need in order to use the program is an Internet connection and user codes.

Study Island uses lessons, practice questions, and explanations to reinforce the concepts and skills that are set forth in the state’s curriculum and taught in the classroom. As a result of mastering these skills, students will score better on the tests.

**Game settings can be limited so that students must reach a certain percentage within a subject before having access to games.

How do students earn Blue Ribbons?

All Study Island topics have a passing goal for students to reach!

The passing goal is made up of two things: the minimum number of questions students must take

and a score percentage.

Students earn Blue Ribbons by reaching the passing goal for each topic.

For this topic, Place Value, 20 is the minimum number of questions students must take, 75% is what they will need to

pass!

Passing Goal Reminders!

Passing Goals can be adjusted to make it easier or harder to achieve Blue Ribbon Mastery.

When a goal is reached, a Blue Ribbon graphic appears. This graphic is clickable to show a Blue Ribbon Award, which can be printed.

If a student continually misses the passing goal, a hazard triangle will appear and built in remedial topics may be required. This is a visual clue alerting the student to ask for help and/or work on lower level material to build skills.

Class Manager Fun Facts

Study Island enables teachers to group their students into a specific class on the Class Manager page.

Why would you want to do this?• It makes viewing student progress easier• It allows teachers to see class averages• It allows teachers to send messages to all students in their class

Classes are simply groupings. A student can be in more than one class and, you can create as many classes as you want.

Please refer to the Teacher Handout on the HELP tab for detailed directions on how to create classes and assignments.

Class Manager Fun Facts

Once students are separated into classes, teachers have the option of creating a class page that can be used to communicate Study Island assignments to students.

Class pages can be set to be the default home page that students see when they login to Study Island.
