What is Study Island?

This is a new computer program we are doing at Dresden Elementary.  It is a 
web-based program that allows the student to work on state standards that 
they will be expected to know for TCAP.  This program uses various games to 
keep the students attention, but at the same time, they are learning the 
skills.  The students are really enjoying this program!!
