Be prepared to research an Educational Topic by using the FGCU Library Web Site:

Homework - The Goal of this assignment is to learn how you can use the Internet to explore an educational topic and to familiarize yourself with Rubrics.

If you have not already done so, please read the following: Using Technology to Promote Engaged Learning. You do not need to follow the links off this page, unless you choose to explore the subject further.

This week, use an Internet Search engine like Yahoo or Google to find pages that will explain and give example of Rubrics. Hint- you may get better results by using the Advanced link of the search engine you choose.

Also, use the techniques shown to you in class by Becky Donalan from Library Services to access the professional literature on Rubrics.

After reading several pages you should know:

  • What a Rubric is.
  • How to find a Rubric.
  • How to build a Rubric.

Come to class prepared to discuss Rubrics. Incorporate significant information you found into your journal entry this week.
