CyberSafety and Istation

1. Gaggle Safety Videos

For your username, type in the username you were given, followed by:

@yisd.gaggle.net

For your password, first try your regular password, your lunch number, your student ID.

If that doesn't work, try password09

Then when you're logged in, change your password to your student ID/lunch number

Then click on Cyber Safety Course

You'll watch three videos and take a very short quiz after each.

When you're done, you'll agree to be a responsible cyber-citizen and then you'll log out.

2. Istation or The Imagination Station

Do the Spotlight Search for the.

The top hit will probably be The Imagination Station. Click that.

On this, you'll use the same username you use to log into AR, not your Gaggle one.

Istation is a new reading program for all public school students in grades 3-8 by the state of Texas.

You can access it at school or at home, if you download the application and are able to configure it.

The first time you login, it'll give you an assessment to see where your level is at. When you complete that, it will start you on activities. I've done it with third and fourth grade students so far and most of them have liked it a lot. Today I'm going to be interested in seeing how it adapts to older students like you.
