Crappy Graphs

Today we messed around with different tools to make graphs and charts. Crappy Graphs was the first one we used, and it definitely lived up to it's name. Click here to see my Crappy Graph, or just look below :) We used the snipping tool to save the graph and then embed it here.

Then we went to Kidzone and made more graphs! Look below again to see mine.

Quiz!

Today we did an assessment in Google Docs. Click here to see mine :)

What is a rubric?

Today we made rubrics for our WebQuests. A rubric is a tool that assists a teacher in scoring a student's presentation. It also gives the students guidelines on what needs to be done to get a certain grade.
We used Rubistar to make our rubrics. It is an easy tool that is free online.

Have a stupendous extra long weekend! =]

Have a great weekend! :)
