Material Generators

Material Generators

  • Desktop Publishing Software
    • I use Microsoft Publisher every week to make our grade level newsletter for parents. It has all the information we will be covering the next week in class for each subject. It also has any school wide information my parents might need to be informed or reminded about.
  • Worksheet Generators
    • I use www.worksheetswork.com to make puzzles for my students with their spelling and vocabulary words every sixth day for morning work. The puzzles are fun for my students and I can increase or decrease the complexity of the search. It also gives my students a fun way to review spelling words before the test.
  • Test and rubric generators
    • I have used Exam View with my AMSTI curriculum to develop assessments for my students. This tool let me pick what type of questions I wanted and how many on each topic. I loved it. I am looking forward to looking into a rubric generator. I have always used the table tool in Microsoft Word to make my own for writing and project rubrics, but I am going to look into using one of the softwares mentioned on page 145 of Roblyer and Doering.

  1. If you are interested in a rubric generator, try rubistar. I have used this in the past and it has created great rubrics, plus you are able to edit them and use them to what fits you best.
