RubiStar Review

This is just a quick review of the site, RubiStar. RubiStar is a sit that allows teachers (or anyone really) to create, share, and use rubrics. This is useful because creating a rubric just adds time to everyone's work load, whereas RubiStar has preloaded sections you can choose from. This means a teacher could make a rubric is less than ten minutes, when it used to take much longer.

All you need to do when working with this tool is to click "Create Rubric" and then choose what type of assignment it is...

Then you need to choose what the criteria you want to grade by are and fill in the rubric, with either pre-made RubiStar evaluations or with your own...

Then you click the submit button (as shown to the left) to preview your rubric. At this point you can click the modify button to tweak your rubric until it's perfect.

Then choose from two options for displaying/presenting your rubric to your students.

And that's how it's done! Simple, right? RubiStar isn't going to change your life all that much, but it is going to allow you to have more free time and it gives you a break from all your paperwork.
