Hello Jodi, Sherie, and all friends,
Rubrics are familiar to me, but creating one on RubiStar is extremely new! You should laugh at me when I'm not convinced with a ready rubric found online or in books since I used to create my own rubric starting from scratch by inserting a table on a word document! It was amazing how on RubiStar and in just half an hour I was able to add the categories I've decided upon previously and added the whole descriptions I wanted to add on my rubric, posted on the wiki under Story Writing and holding the following link: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?screen=ShowRubric&module=Rubistar&rubric_id=2154438&
However, what I suffered from is a completely different issue. I had tough times when I desired to edit an item on the accomplished rubric. Lots of problems existed when I wanted to add a row on conflict, and by mistake I ended up losing the whole rubric and deleting it from the wiki page as well. Although filled with frustration, I was patient enough to repeat the whole task and add it to the wiki again. Then I wondered: Am I the only person suffering sometimes from technology problems? Are they deliberate to frustrate me? Or what?
See, I still was able to learn something from this experience, and this image might imply that lesson!
Regards,
Nihmat
Hi Nihmat,
ReplyDeleteI think we all experience those frustrations with internet sites. If not Rubistar, then it's something else. I actually get quite frustrated with our class Wiki page at times. It's a good thing none of you sees me getting frustrated with it on Sunday evenings! All tools -whether internet or other - just take time to master and feel comfortable with. You've been doing a great job!
Jodi
p.s. I like your dancing in the rain picture!
