  1. Thank you, Helen, for the recommendation…and thank you SLAV for the post. Special thanks to WebTools2Use member msimkin for bring it to my attention!

    One of the newer features was suggested by a Twitter user: RUBRICS for using the tools with students.

    What a great blog, BTW! I’ve already gotten several great ideas and have added “Bright Ideas” it to my list of blogs I’m watching (via your RSS feed!) I’ve also added it to the blog examples on the WebTools4UsUse wiki:
