Technology Standard IV: REFLECTION

By using RubiStar.com, I am able to apply technology to assist in comprehensive assessment and improve the effectiveness of student evaluation. RubiStar allows teachers to easily create rubrics and allow them to become publicly available online to students, parents and the like. Technology resources are used to collect data through various online resources, such as artencyclopedia.com, which are then used for student-created PowerPoints. Students will use a rubric found on RubiStar.com to create such PowerPoints. Furthermore, assessments are given based on online creations through peer evaluation and shared with at least one guardian. In this way, technology is used not only as an effective evaluation tool, but as a parent involvement opportunity as well.
