[SOFTWARE EVALUATION RUBRIC]
Casey Farmer The principal at your building is aware you are in BSU's EdTech Masters program. She was just given the opportunity to apply for a grant that will fund site licenses for new software applications or other online learning activities. She would like you to develop a rubric that will provide clear and comprehensive criteria for judgment of this new software. The funding for this grant is negotiable. Your job is to provide her that rubric. Unfortunately the deadline for the grant is approaching. So, you and a partner will design an original rubric that she can use to justify her selections for this grant.
1. You must highlight clear and comprehensive criteria to score the software. 2. Each member of your group will sample a software application and evaluate them to the rubric you designed. 3. You must include a reference list for the software reviewed and any research used.
