Technology Resources

After looking through the different technology resources, I found two that stood out to

me, and are ones that I could see myself using in my future classroom. The first is RubiStar,

which is a site that allows teachers to create free rubrics. The site offers a wide variety of

subjects that you can choose to make your rubric. Once you select the subject, it guides you on

how to make the different rubric categories. You can use their automated descriptions for each

rubric category, or create your own. There is a lot of flexibility, which is something that I enjoy.

I chose this resource because I can see myself using it in the future when I teach. I am

sure there will come a time in my educational career when I need to create a rubric, and this

resource will be a great guide on how to do so. Whether it be for reading, math, science, writing,

etc., RubiStar can guide me on how I want to assess my future student’s learning.

The second resource that stood out to me is, GoNoodle. GoNoodle is a free website that

many educators use to help get their students moving and be physically active during the day. On

the website, there are many different options teachers can choose from, including topics,

activities and routines, and skills and knowledge. There are tons of different videos that can

allow students to get up and move their bodies, complete different activities, or take a moment to

reflect and breathe. Not only this, but the website offers videos on different subjects, which are

fun ways to get students engaged in what they are learning.

I chose this resource because I think students should take a brain break from time to time,

and have the chance to move their bodies. I also really like that they offer videos on different

subjects, which could be added to my lesson if needed. GoNoodle also offers some activities for

students to complete, and it is always nice to have free resources that I can turn to if needed.
