Create and Share Rubrics with Rubric Machine
October 16, 2007
Have a rubric? Build a rubric. Need a rubric? Take a rubric. Those traditional values imparted to us by the take-a-penny tray at 7-11 are still valid today, as evidenced by the Rubric Machine.
From David Warlick, who brought you the awesome Son of Citation Machine, The Rubric Machine lets you create custom rubrics online and share them with other teachers across the Web. You can set the objectives and point values for each performance indicator, and when you’re done you have a shiny new rubric you can post on the Web.
If you want to use or adapt somebody else’s rubric, you can do that, too. Rubrics created on Rubric Machine are licensed under Creative Commons and are free to use for non-commercial purposes. That means you can grab all the rubrics you need without snatching extra pennies from the take-a-penny tray. –BILL FERRIS

When I was in school, I think the idea of the rubric was dismissed for the utilization of a simpler scale– ranging from “Great Job!” to “Please see me about this…” For the more progressive and discerning teachers of today’s educational systems, rubrics are used more widely and carefully. Teachers want to nurture their students’ creativity, certainly. Often times, you’ll assign creative projects so that students can show off their skills and demonstrate that they are learning all the while. But how do you properly grade such projects?
