Flickr is a photo sharing website in which you can share photos with family, friends, and the world! It’s free and easy to use. Take a tour to learn about the many features Flickr has to offer. My favorite is how you can highlight a part of your photo and add a caption. You can even turn your photographs into books, stamps, calendars and so much more! If you are looking for a photo sharing website for photo sharing purposes, Flickr’s ready to go.
5 Stars for RubiStar November 11, 2007
Many teachers use rubrics to help guide their student’s projects. There are resources on the internet that can make the process of creating a rubric a little easier. The most common one shared by my professors and one that I found to be most simple and easy to manipulate is RubiStar.
is free and allows you to create rubrics for temporary or permanent use, you decide. I haven’t accessed RubiStar for several months and just logged in and found out that rubrics I created in January are still there!
You decide everything about your rubric – category names and how many categories you have and the information within the categories to rate the project. Also, you can use pre-made rubrics and keep them the same or modify them to fit your needs.
Need more convincing reasons to use RubiStar? You can access your RubiStar rubrics anywhere ~ home, school and work. RubiStar also integrates with Blackboard (becoming more popular) and combines data for student achievement purposes. RubiStar is an excellent resource to have!
