525 Wk 2 Rubric V quizstar
If you google rubric makers, you can find some tools to make rubrics online. In the past I have used one or two different rubric makers and they are a life saver. When I was in college I made my rubrics on word and wasted all kinds of time formatting and spacing. Tools like rubristar make life a lot easier. With drop down menus and prompts you are able to create whatever type of rubric you need. Even for a rare discipline like mine, I am able to adapt many of the templates to meet my needs. With quizstar, you can create online quizes which provide automatic feedback. No more paper quizes that take so much time to create, copy, correct, and handback. With quizstar you can create online quizes for students and provide immediate feedback. This is a tool that I could use in my classroom. I currently operate with old paper quizes, but this could be a useful tool in the future. With the graphics and design possibilities, students may even be more successful. The only drawback to this tool currently is that I don't teach in a computer lab and not all of my students have internet access. If I used this tool, students would have to complete these assessments on their own time. While quizstar does'nt fit perfectly into my current classes, it may be useful in the future and I will surely give it a try.

I'm with you, rubric makers are wonderful. I also used to make my own using a word processor. What a headache! Whoever decided to put these on-line deserves an award.
ReplyDeleteUp until now I haven't had any experience with quizstar. I hope that I get to use it sometime.
