Istation Updates in 2015
Istation held a webinar on Friday, February 20, 2015, outlining what will be new starting in January, 2015.
The full webinar is in the following location:
(can only be accessed from school)
Also in that folder, you will find a Word document that contains some (very ugly, quick) notes from the presentation.
Overview of information:
- A great deal of content has been added to the Spanish component
- Math is still in development but should be ready by fall 2015 (see more math info below)
- Teacher Resources is changing – both the old and new views are running concurrently until June
- A great many new features will be introduced in the writing areas on MONDAY, including the ability for students to publish and the teachers to use a rubric to “grade”

Istation Math in 2015-2016:
Istation will be hosting 2 free
webinars next week specifically for Texas.
These 2 webinars will be the
same presentation that is in the PISD Public Drive and contain the same information.
If you’d like to register for
one, login to Istation and click Training Center.
Monday, February 23 at 4pm-5pm CST
Tuesday, February 24 at 3pm-4pm CST
PISD is piloting the Math version of Istation at a couple of campuses this year. However, there is no news yet on whether or not PISD can or will purchase this for other campuses next year. This decision would be based on whether the program is worthwhile, how much it costs, Texas Legislature and decisions made by that organization, etc.
