As I was enrolling for the class “Integrating Technology” I was not really sure what to expect. I was not sure what would be covered or what kind of impact it would have on me. What I learned was that there are many great tools that can be used to help integrate technology into my classroom. There were some that I had knowledge of and some that I had no idea existed. It was a very interesting journey, one that will impact my teaching for years to come.This Blog
This blog is designed to reflect on my experiences with technology integration throughout the Fall Semester of 2010. It is being written in accordance with guidelines given in MEDT 7464 – Technology Integration. Hopefully by the end of the semester it will be a good resource that can be used as a reference tool for my own teaching as well as something that I can share with my department. My goal is to give a thoughtful post to each writing prompt that will be insightful and meaningful. I hope that it will continue to help in my endeavor to increase student learning and achievement throughout my department.
Featured Website
The website I am currently featuring is titled Rubistar. Rubistar is a free tool that helps teachers create rubrics for project-based learning activities. It requires teachers to register in order to use the site and create rubrics. The site also features the ability to make rubrics interactive. The rubrics can be used with Blackboard and Moodle. Users can also download their file to an Excel Spreadsheet. There are also customizable rubric templates that are available. This seems to be a useful site that can help in the assessment of technology projects in any grade level. I have enjoyed browsing through it and hope that you will too!
