I currently have one of my freshman level classes blogging and doing other web2.0 type activities to earn 40% of their class grades. I have thought about how I should grade the blogs and decided to ask my Twitter Personal Learning Network (PLN) for help. <\/p>\n
Received a response from Professor Wendy Drexler <\/a> whom is teaching a graduate level class and she shared her rubric blog checklist with me. I thought it was pretty good but it did not fit my needs as her class was blogging to earn their participation grade. I then decided to do a little research to see what I could find. <\/p>\n I found several great rubrics which were freely shared and after sharing them with Professor Wendy Drexler<\/a>, I decided to blog and share them with others.<\/p>\n Here were my findings:<\/p>\n From Professor Barbara Nixon’s blog<\/a> here whom I follow on Twitter:<\/p>\n Professor Barbara Nixon<\/a> demonstrates how she uses Google Forms<\/a> to allow her students to self evaluate their own blogs before she grades them. Great idea, I will be revising this for my own class.<\/p>\n She also provides a link to the actual rubric<\/a> that she will use to grade her student’s blog. Again, another awesome idea which I will adopt.<\/p>\n Here is a blog rubric<\/a> from another professor who teaches, “Using Tech in Education” at a University.<\/p>\n Also found another blog rubric<\/a> used in an Education class at the Univ of Regina. I later found out that I do follow Professor Alec Courosa<\/a> who created this rubric, on Twitter.<\/p>\n Here is another provided by a Tech ed consultant, Tony Vincent<\/a> for free on his site here<\/a> <\/p>\n
