Assessment is a huge part of teacher's careers. They are required to do some form of assessment all the time whether it's formative or summative. Incorporating technology into these assessments can make a teachers' life so much easier. One website that can help is Teach-nology. This site provides an efficient way to create rubrics for your classes. As this site claims, rubrics are an easy way for teachers grade faster and let's the students know exactly what your expectations are for the specific project. This site provides an extensive list of pre-made rubrics. You can search this out by category to make it easier to find the one that suits your assignment. It also provides templates so you can create a rubric if you do not find one that suits your needs.
I can see where this site will be very helpful as a teacher. Teachers have so much on their plates and a lot of that stuff can be very time consuming. I think teachers need to take advantage of any time savers because if they spend too much time in the classroom after school hours that it a recipe for getting burnt out quickly. I love the idea of using rubrics to grade. I like it because it helps the teacher stay consistent with their grading and I really like that you can give it to the students before hand and they know exactly what is expected of them. I can definitely see myself using this site.
Thank you!
