Rubrics,Word Clouds, ..Webtools Oh My!!

RubiSTAR! (<<Clicking this takes you to the website)

Most students today have seen or been given a rubric by their teacher. These are great tools that keep the student on task when writing a paper or completing a project. I created a rubric to accompany my 5 senses concept map. I used a website called Rubistar for teachers. Its FREE!!! Everyone likes free.

Wordle.net   

  When teaching you are going to have to assign vocabulary to your students. Wordle.net is a great website to create word clouds to show off your vocabulary. I created one using vocabulary concepts that I plan to use in my class room.

StoryBird.com

I don't know about you, but I really enjoy reading. I also like writing stories, poetry, etc. Storybird allows you to choose art and add a story to it. There are a lot of themes to choose from..

TrackStar.4teachers

So I created a track and no I'm not talking about going to the studio and making a song. A track for teachers is way to keep up with useful websites that pertain to a certain subject. This can be extremely helpful for teachers and non-teachers. It keeps you from having to memorize a lot of websites. Here is my example
