How and WhyHill Highlanders use Study Island

• This is our second year to have Study Island on
  our campus.
• We have seen benchmark scores increase anywhere
  from 5 to 27 points. The Study Island format is
  directly aligned with
• our TEKS which helps reinforce and apply our
  students knowledge in preparation for our TAKS
  Tests. In addition
• to the extra practice, the students thoroughly
  enjoy playing the games as a fun way to do
  homework! Beginning in January,
• the students are required to have at least 100
  minutes per a
• two week period for a grade. Also, our parents
  at Hill enjoy
• being able to have an at-home computer program
  that they can actually see what their children
  are doing at school.

Ideas Behind the Study Island Lab

• I explained to the students the Study Island
  contest. I told the students the areas of our
  Computer Lab in which we would be decorating. I
  teach 4 Blocks of Science. The creation of
  decorations would be done during their Science
  Block. I printed the explanations which appear
  at the beginning of each grade level for grades
  3-6 of the Study Island website. The students
  were instructed to create something that would
  fit into our Study Island theme and to somehow
  include the skills that are covered in that grade
  level. Each Block was able to choose which grade
  level they wanted to represent.
