Important update to Istation!!! Read below and show your students!!
Overview:
Following the November 16 release, a system-generated message will appear for K-3 students on all devices (excluding iPads) when attempting to start the ISIP K-3 Reading assessment. This message is a browser-level security measure, and it is designed to ask the user whether they want to leave their current site, which is app.istation.com. Students must click "leave" to proceed with taking the ISIP assessment.
Variation Based on Device Type:
The appearance of the message may vary slightly based on the type of device the students are using.
DEMO!
Please sign into your Istation platform and then click the link in the picture or below to show the video to your students. The more familar they are with it, the less likely it will throw them off.
