]]> Comment on 5 Stars for RubiStar by Andrew McCann http://lvmyers.wordpress.com/2007/11/11/5-stars-for-rubistar/#comment-11 Andrew McCann Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:14:41 +0000 http://lvmyers.wordpress.com/2007/11/11/5-stars-for-rubistar/#comment-11 Everywhere I go I love talking about RubiStar. It is certainly a great tool. The Blackboard (and Moodle and Blackboard Vista - aka WebCT) integration happens through Waypoint Outcomes. My company, Subjective Metrics, is the developer of Waypoint Outcomes. Waypoint makes rubrics interactive - clickable, shareable - so that teachers can quickly create exceptional feedback. With Blackboard and Moodle, teachers can use their rubrics to create feedback, then automatically send their feedback and grades to an online gradebook. They can also set up peer review and self-assessment rubrics so that students can use an interactive rubric to learn the goals of the assignment in more detail. Any rubric saved to RubiStar can be imported into Waypoint in 3 clicks. Everywhere I go I love talking about RubiStar. It is certainly a great tool.

We create tutorials and handouts for teachers and students when we do trainings. I can't image trying to do this with screenshots from my computer alone. Snag It is a great way to keep the size of the file small. I live and breathe Snag It in my new position. We create tutorials and handouts for teachers and students when we do trainings.

Many teachers do not know of the clipart or image feature on Google. If only they looked at the top of the page! But then again, many teachers do not adhere to copyright rules, which they should also be aware of. :-) I agree. Many teachers do not know of the clipart or image feature on Google.

I enjoy my account. I just realized that Edublogs.org has a great site built off of Wordpress technology, and it offers a few more features than Wordpress does. (I didn't know about this before or I would have told the class about it when we did blogging!) :-) WordPress is great. I enjoy my account.

It's apparent that you are an avid technology user in your school. I love the screen shot to illustrate your point and that you emphasized that you do not need to view whole videos on unitedstreaming, you can use video segments.

It has been published in numerous books and been the center of several conference sessions around the nation. She is an inspiration to teachers who say, "I don't have time for this." Not only does Kathy have time for it, her students benefit from being in a class so focused on technology education and motivation.
