Rubystar... and write your rubricss in minutes


Rubystar makes it easy to crate your own rubrics for assessment. There is a tutorial available too and plenty of other resources and rubrics divided into categories.

I believe though that it is probably easier to start from scratch rather than to spend time looking for one that's already there as your criteria may change according to your specific task.

A must read article by Heidi Goodrich Andrade about the topic is here.

Free virtual storage

Ok, if you don't know where to store your files and have them always available on the internet for free this is your site. Remember you should always keep copies somewhere else so that this is not your only repository! After all, it's out there in the ether and things may go wrong.

If you want more features... you'll have to pay :-)

Here's the URL:

Byki and Quizlet


Ok, ok, I've been

a little inactive lately but work is piling up like ants on a bitten apple on a picnic day in the park!!!!!!!!!

Vale just shared these with us for Task 14.3 so here we go. I really like Quizlet because you don't have to downlaod any software as opposed to Byki. Having said this I find Byki more appealing to the eye so will see what I prefer later on.

UN School bus resources for Primary and Secondary


Our ICT co-ordinator shared with us here this resource and so I'm adding it here.

Here is what he has to say about it:


The UN Cyber-school Bus - http://cyberschoolbus.un.org/ This is mainly for primary and secondary, but it’s particularly useful for comparing countries (click on ‘country at a glance’) so could be used with lower level general adult classes. You can find out the low-down on any country in the world (UN style) and compare these countries on any particular statistic. Find out what the population density of Brazil is, and compare it with Singapore or get the news from each country via their newspaper websites. There are links to games and some serious UN-type (and GP-type!) topics such as disarmament or famine on the start page.

Super cool - The game crafter


I just saw this on a Twitter post from Vel and I loved it! Gosh how do you manage not to keep on line and do work at the same time!!! Argh....


I had to come back to my blog and post it here to get back to it later tonight when I get home. I love this blog/repository of sources!!!


Thanks Vale :)


Storytelling with Children Show


Hello there,

I'm currently teaching a How to Teach English:Kindergaten course here at BC and while working on resources I found a very nice website which provides lots of video and audio input which comes in very handy. At this stage of the ICT course, wonderful ideas started coming up when I saw the resources available... embedding video and audio into PowerPoints and IWB flipcharts, etc.
Hope you enjoy it!
