Digital Solutions Rubric

Working Below Expectations / Working To Expectations / Working Above Expectations
1.
Defining problem & solution /
  • Only uses 1 of MM or Scratch;
  • Originality-is a direct copy of an example shown
  • Usefulness-not useful or not created in order to benefit our world
  • Create success criteria- between 0-2 criteria written to evaluate personal success at completion
/
  • Uses MM & Scratch combined together so that things that are done on makeymakey make things happen on scratch
  • Originality-develops and changes a concept shown on example videos
  • Usefulness-demonstrates something that could be developed further to help benefit our world
  • Create success criteria- at least 3 criteria written that will be used to evaluate your product when complete
/
  • Uses MM & Scratch & something else-has output as well as input- so something happens in the world, not just on scratch
  • Originality-is a concept that is not like any seen on example videos
  • Usefulness-could be used in the real world to make a change that would benefit our world
  • Create success criteria- an extensive list written of what you will have/see/do at the end of the project if you

2.
Plan & generate /
  • descrition of problem and solution does not explain how this solution will benefit our world
  • list of required materials
  • instructions not complete or not detailed enough to use to create your solution
  • description of what the coding on Scratch not complete
  • diagram not labelled and does not make clear what the device does
  • no circuit diagram drawn
/
  • descrition of problem and solution and how this solution will benefit our world
  • list of required materials with sentence explaining why that material is chosen
  • instructions to create your solution
  • description of what the coding on Scratch will do
  • at least 1 labelled diagram showing parts
  • labelled circuit diagram drawn
/
  • detailed descrition of problem and solution and how this solution will benefit our world
  • detailed list of required materials with sentence explaining why that material is chosen referring to the properties of the material
  • detailed list of instructions needed to create your solution
  • description of what the coding on Scratch will do including algorithmic language/flowchart
  • several diagrams drawn of whole and parts
  • circuit diagram drawn carefully using correct symbols and labels for parts

3.
Create & produce /
  • Coding not complete
  • Building not complete
  • Testing not complete
  • No debugging or modification
/
  • Coding created and shared
  • Circuit created with makeymakey
  • Solution is tested, debugged and modified
  • Some modifications are written about
/
  • Coding created and shared
  • Circuit created with makeymakey
  • Solution is tested, debugged and modified using feedback from an outside observer
  • All modifications are written about and explained
  • Diagrams updated to indicate modifications to original plan

4.
Evaluate /
  • Feedback from outside observer not written up
  • Not all team members use highlighter to assess using this rubric
  • Written evaluation and reflection not complete
/
  • Outside observer attempt to use and give feedback
  • Feedback from outside observer written up
  • Each team member use highlighter to assess using this rubric
  • Written evaluation and reflection mentions success criteria created in stage 1 and includes some of what you are proud of and what could have been done better
  • Team members collaboratively write separate reflections
/
  • Outside observer attempt to use and give feedback
  • Feedback from outside observer written up
  • Modifications made to address feedback
  • Each team member use highlighter to assess using this rubric
  • Written evaluation and reflection addresses each of the success criteria created in stage 1 and includes detailed description of what you are proud of and what could have been done better
  • All team members independently write separate reflection

Team work /
  • Often difficulties were not managed thoughtfully
  • Roles have not been shared, one team member has done very little towards the project
  • Tasks not completed on time due to poor management or teamwork
  • Students attempt to work independently rather than collaboratively
/
  • Roles allocated according to ability and strengths but maintaining balance
  • Students regularly checked in with one another’s progress
  • Students offered assistance to one another when needed
  • Monitoring of progress
  • Communication respectful
  • Difficulties were managed thoughtfully with assistance
  • Reflection at end of unit showed understanding of the importance of collaborative skills
