Create a rubric for any project or assingment in a matter of seconds or search amoung the thousands that have already been created. RubiStar is a completely free tool, and you do not need to create an account to create or browse the rubrics. If you wish to create your own, you can use the pre-generated categories, create your own categories, or use a combination of both. You can also leave the point settings alone or adjust them as you see fit. Once you are at RubiStar, click on create a rubric, choose a customizable rubric you wish to work with, the topics you wish to asses, and you are all set. You’ll probably notice the account login, but that is only if you want to save or share your rubic from the site. I normally just copy and paste the rubrics into Microsoft Word and save them to my computer. Enjoy!
TimeToast is an outstanding site for creating neat timelines with pictures and descriptions. This is a must see, and one of the easiest sites I have ever seen. To get started, create an account (all you need is an email address) and follow the prompts for creating your interactive timeline. You will be asked to give your timeline a title and add as many events as you wish. Each event has a place you you to enter the name, date, and description. If you wish, you can upload an image (up to 3mb in size) to go along with each event. TimeToast even provides you with the ability to share and embed your timeline. Due to the format of this site, below is a condensed version of a timeline. Timelines are typically twice as long. Be sure to click on the “+” signs to see the descriptions. Check out TimeToast for more examples.
