I finished the Web Tool assignment with a little of frustration. The rubistar site was not a problem, neither was the trackstar. However the bigbus testmaker was about aggravating. I followed the directions Dr. Wang gave us and the directions at the site and I could not get the quiz to save by those directions. I had to copy and paste to word to save my quiz. I thought the problem was the tool bar on my computer, however I tried to use a computer at work and still could not get it to work following the directions. I liked the rubistar and the testmaker (even if I could not get it to work) and can see where these two sites could be useful. The trackstar--not so sure about. I would have to work with it a little more to make a decision on it. Overall I feel pretty good about learning to navigate the different sites we had to use. Hope the rest the of assignments go as well! =) Here is my track # if anyone would like to view it:

Here is my rubric:

I could not get my quiz to save correctly, therfore I do not have an example of my quiz to post. That still frustrates me. Oh well, maybe next time. :-)
Although I could not get the quiz to save correctly with the bigbustestmaker I used google docs to save a copy and post a URL.
Here is the URL:

I found creating a rubric to be simple. I didn't have any problems with that. I had the same problems you did with the quiz. I have had the hardest time trying to post it to my blog. I think I finally got it saved correctly. I really liked using trackstar. You should take the time to check it out. I plan to use it in my classroom I liked it that much.
