1. [|Flash Cards]

 * This is a website where teachers can create flash cards to study. The virtual flashcards can be studied and tested in multiple ways.**

2. [|Student Blog] Kidblog meets the need for a **safe** and **simple** blogging platform suitable for elementary and middle school students. Most importantly, Kidblog allows teachers to monitor and control all publishing activity within the classroom blogging community.

= 3. [|Likert Scale Assessment] = This is an example of a google form used to assess student performance. In the spreadsheet results, the scores can be averaged and ready to go in the gradebook.

= 4. RUBRICS = Rubrics are incredibly important because they clearly define what educators expect of their students. Therefore, creating the rubrics takes a lot of time to develop if they are going to be an accurate grading tool. Hopefully you will find this a useful tool to modify for your particular circumstances. This rubric is to allow for self-reflection regarding rehearsal technique.
