Cool Links on many Study Island "Lessons"



At a recent training session, one teacher got really excited about the links at the bottom of the lesson page. These links, which are found on many, but not all lessons, takes you to additional resources (websites) for that topic area. This feature, that says “View Related Sites”, has links to Google sites and Education World sites.

It is a cool feature which can also be utilized when a teacher uses the "Class Page and Assignment" feature on the "Class Manager" page. Teachers should view the links provided from the lesson, select the top 2 or 3 then, add these as links on an assignment. I also suggest the teacher add a note that tells the students they can visit those sites for help and more information about the topic(s) that are a part of the assignment.
