This is a great time of year to leaf through those travel brochures and dream about that next trip!  Well here’s a unique travel log entry that just might be what you’re looking for!

Destination:  Study Island!

Location:  www.globalstudentnetwork.com

What to Expect:  Study Island is a place where students can learn and practice math and language arts skills.  There are tutorials, games, even printable worksheets.  A word about the games – they are fun, but they are not JUST for fun.  Students have to answer questions in order to play each part of the game.

Cost:  The visit to this island is just $39 per student, per subject, per year.

On your visit, be sure not to miss:  Progress tracking.  Parents can see exactly what students have covered as well as any areas needing more practice.  Customized learning.  An initial pretest can show the student exactly what they need to learn and practice.  The material is then presented in a “mastery-based” format.  That means if a student grasps the concept quickly – great!  They can move on to the next.  If a student needs more time or practice – no problem!  They can get all they need to “master” the skill or concept.  This means each student can work at his or her own pace.

Any restrictions?  None!  Study Island can be used by any student grades 3-12.  Study Island effectively supplements any curriculum.   Previously, Study Island was only available to school districts, who bought access in large volume.  Now, thanks to an arrangement between Edmentum (developer of Study Island) and Global Student Network, Study Island is available to anyone!

What to bring:  Your confidence!  Edmentum has created this learning system to meet the highest standards and Global Student Network is committed to offering the customer service and assistance needed to make Study Island the best learning destination for your student.

Set your sails for great learning at Study Island!
