Create a rubricto assess e-projects

Hello!!

Here I am again all by myself, teamwork is over :( but that doesn't mean we are done with new ICT challenges.

Today I am going to talk to you about my newest challenge: Creating a rubric to assess e-projects.

For this assigment I had to create a rubric to evaluate my CLIL e-project, to create it I have decided to use a tool called Quick rubric. I've never heard of this tool, but after using it I 've seen how easy it is.
It is an online tool to create anykind of rubric you want, you just have to create an account and start working! It's really simple, the template is already there, you just have to fill the boxes with the information you want, you can add as many columns and rows as you like.

Also you can give your rubric a title and a brief description to clarify what your rubric is about. With Quick rubric you can also adapt your score rating to your own criteria. When you are finished, you just have to save it and the web tool will send you and email, to the email adress you provided when making the accunt, with an URL to share your rubric.

The thing that I really liked about this toll is that whenever you want to change your rubric, you can do it easily just click on edit rubric and make all the changes that you want.

Here you can see my rubric:


Finally I just want to add, that while doing this assignment I have realized how important rubrics are when you are evaluating someone's work. For me, as a current student and future teacher, rubrics help students understand why they have got the grade they did. I wish that when I was a student, more teachers have used rubrics when assessing some of my work, it would have saved me a lot of trouble!

Thanks for reading, I will be back with more challenges!

E-design evaluation

Hello again!

I know it's been a while since my last post, but this new challenge hasn't been easy for me, let me explain it to you.

For this new challenge  I had to choose an Eproject and evaluate it according to an especific rubris, there were so many projects where I could choose from, but finally I decided to choose one about Arts and Crafts, which is: https://sites.google.com/site/geniusesoftherenaissance

I chose it because I really like the content and how it works it with the students. The content and the tasks in this blog are related with the topic and also very well suited for children. It is well organized and clear for them, and the multimedia used in it is really visual and engaging for the students.

However, there are somethings that form my point of view need a little improvement, such as the size of the letter used, that is a little small for the students; the Lack of visual support in some of the tasks explained to the students, and also one of the activities is explained througha mindmap that is hard to follow and the students will not be able to understand what they need to do.

For you to see my evaluation in a more clear way, I have made a presentation with prezi, it is the first time I use this tool and I really liked it, it is easy to use and really engaging and visual.

Here you can see my presentation: 

Hope you like it!!!
