Online Resources- Rubistar

•      Rubistar is an online program that teachers can use to create rubrics with their students.  You can go to rubistar.4teachers.org and create rubrics based on the type of activities or assignments that you are using in your classroom.  Students can work along side of you as you are creating rubrics for oral presentations, classroom projects, group projects, math assignments or any other academic assignments given throughout the year.
• I will use this program with my students because I feel like it will suit their needs and be a great visual tool to help them grasp what is being asked of them, and with them having the opportunity to develop the rubric with me it will make them more successful on the project or task because they will have a good understanding of what to do.
• The visual aspect of how to create the rubric will be positive for them because most of my students are visual learners and they really enjoy knowing the process of something and how to do it.
• This tool will be a great positive to developing a good relationship with my students also because of having the opportunity to work together and making decisions that will affect them in the future. It will prepare them for other projects they may be assigned in different classes as well as mine.
