User Testimonials
	IXL Learning	Study Island
Likelihood to Recommend	It is great for providing students extra resources and opportunities for practice. In this case, it is extremely well suited. Moreover, since every student is different, the dynamic adjustment allows students to work through more/less problems depending on their level of mastery which can help students pinpoint areas of issues to discuss in the class. It is less appropriate for settings where a student may struggle to teach themselves as this requires some level of independence on part of the user. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	In my time using and assisting in the use of Study Island, I have seen teachers between K-5 grade use this program. Students in younger grades may find this program challenging to use independently, causing teachers to assist rather than use that time to work with another student simultaneously. Intermediate grade students can become bored with some of the games and lose interest. This program seems best suited from 1st to 4th grades. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Easy to find extra practice for students Generates problems for students and also explains wrong answers Easy to use for math intervention groups Incentivized AA Amber AuBain Teacher Read full review	Aligns with the new Oklahoma standards. Data is easily found and readable. Games are fun for the kids. Incentivized Missy Berry Elementary School Teacher Read full review
Cons	I would like for it not to drop students down as much when they miss a question. My students tend to get too frustrated and quit when it does. Incentivized Sherby Gully Teacher Read full review	Student logins can at times be confusing and time consuming for teachers and students alike Costs can be very expensive depending on class size Support can take time to reach when problems arise Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	IXL Learning was easier for the students to navigate, and it seems to have a better layout overall. NoRedInk appears slightly antiquated, and students were often confused on how to use the different features or answer questions. However, NoRedInk is the superior tool for teaching writing skills and giving students authentic writing practice. IXL Learning is better when it comes to practicing specific skills.
