Week 2

Rubistar and Quizstar are great tools for any classroom and for all grade levels. I personally have worked with Rubistar. This tool is great because it automatically creates objectives and assigns them a point value. This is simply done by clicking on a subject area and a topic. The tool also allows the user to copy and past onto a document and revise the areas to make them more specific.

Quizstart on the other hand, is not a tool that I am familiar with. I briefly looked over the website and noticed a lot of similarities. Quizstar operates in the same way that Rubistar works except for the fact that it creates quizes instead of rubrics. I also noticed that there is a charge for the Quizstar. It is relitively inexpensive though.

All in all, both tools are beneficial to my classroom. They are easy to use and they are adaptable to different subject ares and levels. They are flexible with the content and can be used cross curricular.
