This was
the first time I created a rubric. I know, however, I am hooked!
I will
definitely be using this great tool. Rubrics makes
the life of a teacher easier. Once created, keeping in mind the needs of the
topic in question, assessment becomes easy. Sharing the rubric with the
students before the actual assessment would allow the students to prepare
themselves according to the criteria given in the rubric. This helps the
students perform better, I believe.
I made my
rubric using Rubistar. That part was easy. I made the rubric for an oral
presentation by the students related to the topic given as homework “Having a
Conversation”. I made a Google docs copy of my rubric with the details of the
class and students. The difficult part was loading the prepared rubric into the
class wiki. I had to figure out the process to do it properly. It took me some
time, but finally I did it. Yeah!
Technology solution for my class issue:
Here, I was
at a loss. I have already learned about so many new tools. I wanted to apply
all of them. However, as my students would be completely overwhelmed by all the
technology inputs, I started thinking about what would be the best possible technology
solution to my primary class issue.
Courtney’s
suggestions showed me the right way. My students work well in groups and, I
feel, Project Based Learning with WebQuest would be the best solution for my
class issue.
