Blogging Rubric

While going through my RSS feeder, I found another great tool from Free Technology for Teachers. It is a rubric for grading students participation on a blog. http://docs.google.com/View?docid=df8b89sj_324h7b58tgq

I appreciate that the rubric encourages students to be critical readers and thinkers as well as creative thinkers. Additionally, students are held to a high expectation for the quality of their entry. While these might be typical areas on the rubrics that many of us have been using forever, the area "community of practice" is specific to the world of blogging. As someone who has not created a rubric for blogging before and would not have known where to start, this rubric is a lifesaver.

I could certainly see myself "tweaking" this for my History Day blog this year.

This looks like a great rubric -- AND it was published on GoogleDocs :) I like the creative commons notations at the bottom, too ... I'll have to remember to mention this when we talk about copyright.
