If we want students to use technology to enhance their learning, we need to make sure that they are held accountable. One way to do this is to create rubrics for students to follow. If you give them the criteria that you are grading them on, there will be no questions about what your expectations are.

If you're new to using technology in your classroom, you many want to look at some examples of rubrics to help you get started thinking about just what it is that you'd like to assess.

You've got papers to check, lessons plans to create, materials to get ready for, the last thing you have time for is having to make your own rubrics. Below you'll find some online sites that will help you design your own rubrics to use with your technology projects.
