Search Rubric
This is a new rubric for Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy
This is a Primary school focused rubric looking at using a search engine to construct and modify a search. Advanced students may utilise simple boolean operators
I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions as I do not usually write Primary school level rubrics. Is it to hard ot too simplistic?

Just a couple of quick questions - what age group at Primary are you aiming this at? Do you want the rubric to be in kid speak or teacher speak? Are you working on the assumption that the kids know what is meant by a key word and how to select one? Or, are you anticipating that this will be taught along with the use of a search engine? Just seeking some clarification so I can give you useful feedback.

the more senior end of primary. The rubric is written in teacher speak and I would anticpate that it would be used as students are taught about search engines so the teaching of the concepts of keywords would be integrated into the teaching.
Things are a little simpler at secondary, so I appreciate the feedback

Hi again,
thanks for clarifying. Based on the information you added above, plus my own experience in teaching Year 4s to use search engines last year, I’d say that I think it would work as a rubric for upper primary - probably Year 5 or above - it might depend on kids reading/spelling ages a bit as this would make a difference to their ability to enter search terms/read and sift through results.
Hope this is of some help to you. I teach Year 5s this year - more then happy to guinea pig the rubric with them if you would like.
