Technology Communication Tools

Cynthia, Excellent. It's so true that even though the technology is easy to use, we still need that technology support. Thanks for bringing that up. Take care.

Rubric Role

Christine, And, don't forget, the rubrics help the instructor as well. There are many benefits for students, but consider those for instructors too. Thanks!

Generational Roles

Christine, Nice job. We have to think carefully about how we can provide learning for a variety of students. We have to use various tools and teaching tools to help all students engage in the content. Thanks!

Technology Communication Tools

Tanya, Good point! These key components you noted are essential. Accessibility is important so that all students can utilize the communication. Without the accessibility, the ease of use and added value wouldn't "have a chance." ;-)

Pattern of Communication

Christine, Right on! Hence a "pattern" - consistency and clarity are two key components. We want to avoid that confusion. Thanks!

Mistakes in Making Rubrics

Betsy, Yes, that is true. When the rubrics are not clear, they can cause more confusion than help. As we set up the criteria and connect them to the objectives, they will benefit the students better. Thanks!

Using Rubrics

Betsy, I am so glad you mentioned the objectives/learning outcomes in conjunction with the rubrics. They must be aligned. I actually put the objectives on the rubric itself. This helps the students understand why they are doing what they are doing. Thanks!
