Creating a class in Study Island
Study Island very user friendly for teachers and students. I hope you've had a chance to log in and look around a bit. In this newsletter I've attached a document that explains how to create your own class. When students log-in they will be able to click on the class they've been assigned to and see assignments and activities you've given them. One great thing about Study Island is you can create more than one class. Create one for your whole class, small groups, or even for students you tutor. This is a great way to meet the individual needs of students based on skill level.

Epic Books
Chrome 101
This may seem so simple it's silly, but sometimes the easiest way to start solving a problem with the chromebook is to turn it off and turn it back on. Hold the the power button one the right side for a few seconds until the screen goes black. Then, turn it back on! In many cases this will do the trick.
Just like we need to sleep, so do our devices. It is important to turn them off (not just close them) every once in awhile. Use the method explained above or simply sign-out and then shut down using the shutdown button in the bottom left-hand side of the screen.
