For our third assignment, our class completed a web tools
assignment. In this assignment, we were
prompted to use different web tools to aid us in planning teaching resources
for a topic of our choice. ( I chose The Solar System as my topic. )
For example, the first part of our web tools assignment
required us to use RubiStar
to create a grading rubric. I pretended
that my “students” were making a Solar System board game, so my rubric was
created for that purpose.
Here is a screenshot of my rubric:
I loved how easy to use RubiStar was, and I most certainly plan on using it in the future!
Our next step in the web tools assignment was to create an
online quiz. In order to do this, we used a site called Classmarker. This site was very easy to
use, and did I mention that it was free? In no time at all, I was able to
easily create a ten question quiz with multiple choice, true/false, and even
short answer questions on it for my Solar System lesson!
The next step in the web tools assignment was to create an
online worksheet using the ABCTeach
site. The site has a multitude of
pre-created worksheets in various subjects and topics, ready to use and once
again, FREE! This is a must-have resource for all future and current educators.
Our last step in the web tools assignment, but certainly not
the least important, was to create an online puzzle for our topic. As a class, we used the site Puzzlemaker to
create a variety of customized word searches, crosswords, and even math
puzzles.
I included a
screenshot of what my completed puzzle looked like:
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson on Web Tools.
Each and every website that we utilized will be very helpful in the future when
we all have our own classrooms.
