About Study Island
Used by millions of students in thousands of schools across the United States, Study Island programs are built specifically from state standards and are designed to create a very user-friendly experience for both students and teachers alike.
APA is dedicated to implementing technology in the classroom and through use of the Internet. We are proud to offer Study Island to students.
Features
Built directly from the Indiana Academic Standards, this system is research-based, easy-to-use and web-based. Students can log on via the Internet anytime, anywhere.
With either traditional assessments or interactive games based on the Academic Standards, students are challenged with state-specific lessons and questions with immediate feedback and automated instruction.
Also, real-time progress reports drive differentiation and instruction in the classroom.
How It Works
Students can access the program by simply logging on to www.studyisland.com, where they will find each topic organized with a lesson, assessment questions, and explanations. The mastery of these topics will help students gain confidence when taking the ISTEP+.
In order to complete the Study Island program, students must take the pretest, complete the content groups, and master the post test.
Why It Works
As Study Island is completely web-based, students can access Study Island and learn at their own pace. There is no software to download or install; all you need is an Internet connection.
Dynamic content keeps students engaged with questions and answers that are different on each visit. Not only are there several thousand questions in the Study Island program, but each question constantly changes. The answers to the multiple-choice questions rotate positions, and the numbers in the math questions are chosen randomly, resulting in a deeper understanding of the concepts, as opposed to memorization of the answers.
This deeper understanding of the concepts enables students to feel prepared when taking the ISTEP+. Teachers can customize printable worksheets when a paper/pencil option is more appropriate for the learner.
Students build confidence in their understanding of the Academic Standards. Through confidence, students can achieve mastery.
