March 16, 2010: Timeline Project/Rubistar/Quizstar
1) Describe your assignment.
For this assignment, we had to come up with a lesson plan and integrating the three sites in it. We chose to do Black History achievements because it is Black History Month. We decided to make a timeline with facts about Black Americans that made their mark in U.S. History. Using these facts, we created a lesson where students had to research and present their findings about one of the famous Black Americans. They also had a rubric to follow which was made using rubistar.com. Also, they had to take a quiz that was made on quizstar.com site. All these sites were free.
2) What did you like about the timeline websites? rubistar? quizstar?
I liked the fact that it was easy and convinient to use. Besides the slow internet, it was a very informational and easy site that would help make my life easier as a future teacher.
3) How would you use these sites for a classroom assignment?
I would have my students create their own timeline of events that happened in their life and have them present it to the class. Another idea, is to have them log in what they've learned in the previous month (which I can use for assessments).
4) How would you rate each software on a scale of 1-10?
I would rate the softwares all a 10 because its easy and simple to use. Plus they are free! I like the fact that it is convinient and easy for my students to pick up if they were to go on it and do a project.
