GRADING RUBRIC
A: organization organic and aids in understanding the topic discussed on the blog; ’ includes more than the minimum posts; extensive research clearly documented; reflection on research rich and detailed; multimedia components are clear (pictures, videos, animations); clear indication of direction for next steps in research/prototyping; aesthetically pleasing and/or easy to read and navigate; student is clearly engaged in the topic, exhibiting deeper understanding of research and using the medium of the blog to clearly communicate that learning

B: organization adequate, but requires some ‘digging;’ includes more than the minimum posts; thorough research clearly documented, but there are clear holes; reflection on research clear; multimedia is sparse; some indication of direction for next steps in research/prototyping; somewhat aesthetically pleasing and/or challenging to read and navigate; student is engaged in the topic, exhibiting an understanding of research and using the medium of the blog to communicate some of that learning, but the viewer is left with some questions about the direction of research or depth of analysis

C: organization simplistic and/or confusing; minimum posts present; some research clearly documented, but there are significant gaps that impede overall understanding of topic; multimedia is nonexistent (all text); student is somewhat engaged in the topic, exhibiting some understanding of research and could use the medium of the blog more effectively to communicate some of that learning, and the viewer is left with some questions about the direction of research or depth of analysis

D: would be considered a C (or higher) level blog, but contains fewer than the minimum posts

F: organization is confusing; fewer than the minimum present; little to no research is documented and the topic itself may be unclear; multimedia is either nonexistent, does not load, or does not match the topic indicated by the blog; student does not seem to be at all engaged in the topic and exhibits little to no understanding of it; the viewer is left with significant questions about what the topic is and what the writer hopes to accomplish with the blog
