Rubrics help us understand the vocabulary and the expectations of both writing and common core standards.

It is always worth looking at rubrics for other standards, it helps me to reassess what I am asking students to be able to demonstrate. Delete the scoop?

This rubric from the DOE of New York City can be used by teachers and library staff to determine text complexity. With modification, it would also be useful for students to help them choose books in the library for research projects. Via Mary Clark Delete the scoop?

How about after you find the apps, do you know how to evaluate their pedagogic implications ? Are they educationally valid ? Do they target skills you want your students to work on ? Are they flexible enough to let students learn in different settings ? Are they student friendly ? Via Ove Christensen, Dr. Laura Sheneman, Dennis T OConnor, Amanda Blakley, Jim Lerman

Interesting application, but the content has the same trouble that many of the rubric available on the web: It says nothing:

Well I think you should see it as a help for reflection on apps and use of apps. No tools are doing the hard work for you but they help you to remember what to cover.

@Cristian...I don't see it the same way. The criteria, in my opinion, do provide a useful framework for judging the efficacy of a web app. The value in the criteria is implicit; if one shares the values inherently stated in the criteria (for example, "authentic practice of targeted skills"), then I think the criteria are indeed helpful. If the values and meaning of the criteria do no speak to you, the reader, then I can see where one could feel they do not say anything. As Ove says, "no tools are doing the hard work for you."
