Rubric and FRQ Grade Converter

Converting Advanced Placement Free Response Questions (FRQ) scores to a percent out of a 100 is a pain. So my colleagues, Rich Hoppock and Dan Maxwell, came up with this converter. To use it download it and then re-upload in Google Drive (or perish the thought, Microsoft). Once you have done that put the FRQ score in the yellow box in the upper right side and it will give you a percent score based on both 100 and 50.

Homework Reminders

When I want to quickly contact my online students, I use Remind.com . It allows you to send a text without knowing their phone numbers. Additionally you can set a time for it to be sent. You can add a link and/or upload a document. If you choose, you can also text individual students. All of the texts are recorded and kept as long as you keep the class. Above is a video giving you a great overview and here are several videos explaining how to use different parts of it. If you use Blackboard, the video below shows you how to embed Remind texts into a Blackboard page.

How to Make Your Own Flip & Tutorial Videos

Over the years I have made lots of video tutorial for my blog followers and flip videos for my students . Every single one of them have been made using Screencastomatic . You can purchase your own yearly subscription, but I have not only never paid, but also never even set up a free account. You don't need to since you can make the video and then just upload it onto YouTube. Watch the video above and you will be able to see how to record, add you talking (or not) to the recording and to upload it - all in less than two minutes. Go forth and make your own tutorials and teach lots of others. In a later post I'll show you how to organize your YouTube video library.

Blackboard Test Generators

If you use Blackboard as does my county, you can find a series of Blackboard test generators here and/or watch the video above. These examples make it much easier to change a word document into Blackboard file.
