Web Tools Assignment




Through the Web Tools Assignment, I was able to create an online rubric, wordle, story, and track. I was able to easily create an online rubric using Rubistar. The site assisted me on getting started with an example rubric and I was also able to integrate my own topics, categories, points, and descriptions for the rubric. I had no problems creating a rubric using Rubistar. This will be very helpful to quickly create a rubric for projects and assignments in my future classroom. I really enjoyed being able to create an online story with Storybird. The site allows for so much creativity even though I used a certain authors artwork. The only problem I encountered creating this story was being able to find a picture for exactly what I was trying to convey in my story. I can’t wait to create a story for a future lesson for my class! Wordle was very interesting. I think it will be something I will use in my future classroom to begin with a visual for a new concept. Creating Trackstar was a beneficial part for me because I learned how to create a track of websites for my students and parents to find information easier on a topic they are learning in class. The only issue I had with this site was making sure I was inputting the information in the correct places.
This assignment met the NETS-T standard 2, which indicates that teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences (story) and assessment incorporating contemporary tools (rubric) and resources to maximize content learning in context (track, wordle) and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS·S. It also met the NETS-T standard 3, which indicates that teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society.
