Student names are now in Study Island. If you get a chance, snoop around your admin. page and click on something that looks like users (I don't have the page open right now.). The usernames are all different. The passwords are the same. Is there a time the four of us can get together briefly and discuss some default settings such as whether we want the students to make-up their own passwords or not? I need to snoop around and find the teacher usernames and passwords. Do you see them any where yet?

All usernames are "about" in Study Island.

If you don't mind, I would like to begin using Study Island sometime this next week or two with the administrators' classes (yours) at each school. This will help us understand it better, so we can be helpful. Let me know if you have a good time. I would like to be there, so I can learn with you. It will be before the training, but I am hoping that will allow us to ask more questions at the training.
 * The students' user names will not be the Renaissance names since it is not school-based as far as log-ins and user names get taken by others in the nation.
 * Each building administrator should have a building username and password. Please let me know if you don't. You will have access to all usernames and passwords at your building.
 * We will have two Webinars, hopefully...one will be in December after school and another will be during Technology Day.

We are encouraging the younger grades to use it too for at least practice. The idea is that the more we expose the younger students to standards and questions like this, the more practice and exposure they will get with this type of work. Study Island reccommends that little kids not work on it too long. I think my ideal length as an adult is about 20 minutes (of course, my attention span is not known to be anything to brag about) but there is no time limit. [|www.studyisland.com] The recommended time will vary depending on the topic and level of the student. Usually around 15-30 minute, but we do not put a time restriction on any particular session. If a student does not finish, he or she can continue at a later time where they stopped. What are the present percentages for excellent and good? It is based on your state’s average. I forwarded the question to our content department for a better explanation.

The administrator password is hidden so it does not accidently get printed out for other to see. You should only have a couple of people from each school know the admin password, and you will be able to change that password. Training is $150 for a one hour webinar. It can be sent in with the purchase order, or you can order it separately. Your school will have complete access within 48 hours of receiving the purchase order.
