What do you like best about Study Island?

Study Island is a great resource for designing your own mini-lessons and assessments. You can use it "as is" but it is better utilized by personalizing it to your current curriculum and students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Study Island?

It has a very limited bank of questions for each standard. This makes it difficult if a student needs to practice again because eventually they will start running into the same questions they did before, which isn't helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Study Island solving and how is that benefiting you?

Study Island is great for supplementing the current curriculum when I feel like there should be a bit more included in a unit of study. I can go to SI and find the skill and just add it to my plans for day/week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how at times you need to manually adjust student accounts. I have noticed an issue with Clever integration that has required a few of my students to use an alternate way to log in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Study Island solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are seeing lots of growth on the individual level in students that use study island to cover science standards. Making sure that students learn how to effectively study is also a great plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Study Island?

There are so many lessons available for each grade level, subject, etc. They have Common Core, US, and state standards. It is very organized! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Study Island?

I wish that all of their lessons had videos, but I understand that why that is impossible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Study Island:

Check out their wealth of lessons available. Their inventory is vast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Study Island solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is an excellent way for online students to extra assistance on a specific lesson. Yes, we have small group instruction; however, we cannot teach everything. This is where Study Island helps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Study Island?

Nothing. There's nothing good about this site I can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Study Island?

I have been using this for 3 years now. My school district requires this, so everyone in my school does this as well. And I can tell you with absolute confidence, every single student I've ever known hates this with a passion. The questions can be so confusing sometimes, to the point in which I don't even understand them anymore and get the answer wrong. Then that little crab comes and mocks me like I've done something wrong, when they haven't even formatted their questions to be readable, much less understandable. When you get one question wrong, it lowers your grade so much to the point that you can't even get more than a 91 again. Some of the questions are literally WRONG, just flat out wrong. If you wanna try again at the lesson and reset it, guess what? YOU CAN'T. You'll have to go through it and answer all the questions before you can try again. If you're going too fast, a text will pop up on the screen and read, "Are You Guessing?". Are you guessing... are you kidding me?? How are you gonna make someone literally WAIT for a half minute because there going too fast? Maybe they wouldn't be "Guessing" if you had coded a reset button, but no, they're too lazy to do that. I'm 13 and can code for a button single-handedly, but you telling me a corporation with over 100's of people can't? That's just truly sad.. and the cost of this is ridiculously unreasonable for such garbage. For one year (Keep in mind, this is for ONE student), it's $180. $180 FOR THIS. TELL ME THAT'S NOT A CASH GRAB!

To sum it up, with the amount of inconsistency, greediness, laziness and just in general poor management of this website, this is clearly not worth it. Coming from 3 years of torture, here's what I have to say; parents, please don't have your children do this. Schools, please don't assign this. Study Island, improve your godforsaken system.

MY BIGGEST PROBLEM I HAVE ISN'T SOLVED. Also, It when you get a better score after completing an assessment, your highest score should be your overall score, not your best one!! It makes it really easy to mess up and really hard to do good!!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Study Island?

There is nothing helpful about study island Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Study Island?

It takes my parents my college level sisters and I a whole lot of time to TRY and figure out the questions and then we try about a hundred different solutions and none of them work and then we try our absolutely best possible answer and get the questions wrong. We check the explanations and they basically say: "our answer is right because it is." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Study Island:

Stay away from it at any and all costs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Study Island?

It's great for looking at data and grouping your students. Students love being on the computer and you can choose whether or not to have games incorporated into the lesson. Students can keep track of how well they are doing and it provides them with instant feedback. Many times my students tell me their scores before I (get a chance) see them! It's easy for me to see what my students do in their core reading class (I'm a reading specialist.) I also love how my district has synced the Clever extension so passwords are no longer needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Study Island?

Sometimes it's hard to remember where Study Island ends and Edmentum begins. It is probably the closest practice we can use for our state testing, but not good enough in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Study Island:

Make sure your district trains you well and gives printed instructions and highlights the areas of importance they would like you to work on with the kids or that they feel will be of use to the district. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Study Island solving and how is that benefiting you?

Differentiated instruction is a breeze with Study Island. I feel more confident that while I'm working one on one with some students, I know the time the other students are spending on Study Island is still quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
