Istation’s free Chrome Web App provides subscribing educators and registered students with portable access to Istation’s computer-adaptive instruction and educational resources, including Istation Reading, Istation en Español, Istation Math, Istation Home, “Writing Rules! with Calvin Cool,” Teacher Station, and more. Free with every Istation subscription, the app extends lessons to the Chrome browser, allowing students to complete hundreds of hours of research-based interactive lessons and activities.

While students use this app, their usage and results are tracked and included on the Istation Report and Management Web site, so educators can seamlessly monitor progress and support intervention across platforms.

This app makes learning on the go fun and convenient by opening the door for more discovery, learning, and practice in reading, writing, and math. Students continue to learn from all of Istation’s colorful characters, songs, and animation that make learning exciting and motivate students to succeed.

FasterWeb uses just-in-time preloading; it preloads a page right before you click on it.

Faster Web works best on pages that are on the same sites. Pages to external sites are still faster but generally not enough to be noticeable.

How it works: Before you click on a link, you hover your mouse over it. When you have hovered for 65 milliseconds there is one chance out of two that you will click, so Faster Web starts preloading at this moment, leaving on average over 300 ms for the page to preload.

Pages that trigger an action (such as logging out or deleting something) are excluded. (FasterWeb won’t preload pages with a “?” in their URL.)

FasterWeb — previously called FasterChrome — is based on instant.page, a library that you can add to your site in just one minute to give it the same speed boost.
