I really enjoyed the different rubric maker tools that this website supplied for the reader. This website also broke down rubrics into different categories to make it easier to find a rubric based on a particular subject you want to assess. Towards the bottom of this website there are pre-made rubric collections which are broken down into subjects. These collections allow you to print pre-made rubrics based on different subjects for grades K-12. The website also lets you “learn all about rubrics”. This area covers ten uses for rubrics, five features of a highly effective rubric, how to make a rubric in less than five minutes, how to tell if your rubric works, and pros and cons of using rubrics.

[|http://rubistar.4teachers.org] I love Rubistar! This site is great for teachers and future educators to create rubrics for our classroom assignments. I really like how this site allows you to find pre-made rubrics as well as create your own rubrics. You can also make the pre-made rubrics into interactive ones and add your own information to them. You can search for any rubric with the keyword search or you can find a rubric using the title, author’s name, or author’s email address. This site also allows you to save the rubrics you create and edit them as you see fit. You can view the site in Spanish if you would like. The site also permits you to create a rubric based on particular templates, such as Math, Reading, Multimedia, Science, or Art.
