Drawbacks:
In order to keep student data, teacher must fill out rubric online. For students in lower grades, teacher would not have ability to email it to them. Teacher must print off rubric for student.
May only be suitable for upper elementary and above grade levels. Rubrics could be difficult for students at lower levels to understand. Works better for upper grades who have skill level to self monitor.
Conclusion:

Enhancement: The students will be fully aware of their learning objectives throughout their assignment/lesson. They are aware of what is expected and how they should be working towards it.
Extension: There is not as much extension for this tool since it creates rubrics. However, teacher could have students bring rubric home to check over an assignment for homework or with the help of the parent.
How I would use ForAllRubrics it my classroom.
- Student data would be recorded so that teacher can analyze all of student’s work and recognize and struggles or constant loss of points. Students take more responsiblity in their work and self correcting.
- For parent teacher conferences or meeting with administration. By grading the rubric online it will be stored in “my class”. Teacher can refer to it when discussing a students grade or work with their parent.
- Checklist feature could be use for students with executive function struggles. Checklist could be use in group projects or on a daily basis for time management for the teacher.
