This week, the group project was to create a group Padlet based on our lesson plan and topic from project 2. Eli began our Padlet and then shared it to us all to add. We also each created our own Thinglinks that could be used and provided to students for supplemental resources. I found creating both of these materials exciting. I had always been interested in utilizing Padlet but had never had enough time to dig deep into its uses during the school year. After using both of these tools, I realized that I could use both of these in my science classes this year. In particular, I see myself using them in Zoology or Human A&P and having students collaborate to find resources and information to solve a problem or present a project. As a group, I think we really executed this week's task well. We worked quickly and efficiently and everyone really did a great job! For project 10, I chose to create a Quizizz to allow myself to become familiar with something now, as I use Kahoot in my classroom already. I actually found that I prefer Quizizz! The interface is very user friendly and I like how many options there are for questions. As for the rubric, I had no idea that there was an online tool like RubiStar for creating rubrics. I think the only thing I dislike about it is that each category is worth the same amount of points. When I use rubrics in my classroom, each category is weighted different. For example, presentation may be worth 20 points total while creativity is worth 10 points total. Overall this week was very simple and enjoyable. I really liked all of the tools I was introduced to and will most definitely be using them this year. Project 9 Padlet Group 2 Project 9 Links (view in Google Doc) Project 10 Quizzizz ![]()

Hi Sarah! Really great work this week on all your projects! I think you brought up a really great point about Rubistar and the importance of making your own rubrics: that being the importance of weighing different elements of an assignment. As you state in your post, not every element of something can be weighed the same, and some more crucial aspects of an assignment (possibly what you are trying to gauge the students' understand on) needs more emphasis in the weight of the grade. That is definitely a feature that Rubistar should possibly consider adding to their website updates for future use! Again, awesome job this week!
