4 Creative Ways for Teachers to Give Students Feedback

Rubber Stamps for the Classroom

As a teacher, it’s important to give your students constructive feedback about their work so that they can make improvements. However, it can be difficult to come up with methods for doing so that interest students and encourage them to read what you have to say. To help you out, the folks at Rubber Stamp Station are here to give you some ideas for providing feedback in a creative, attention-grabbing way:

    1. Jot your comments on colored sticky notes – When you write your feedback directly on your students’ papers, they may not notice that it’s there. To avoid this issue, we recommend putting your comments on a colored sticky note and attaching it to the paper. The color will catch your students’ attention and ensure that they don’t miss your valuable feedback.
    2. Have another adult give feedback on occasion – If your students don’t seem to be responding to your advice, it may be beneficial to have another teacher or even the principal of the school provide feedback on an assignment. Doing so will give kids a fresh perspective on their work.
    3. Let students provide feedback to each other – Another ingenious method for making sure students get feedback they will use is to have them swap papers and give each other constructive criticism. Most kids value what their peers have to say about them and their work, so this technique will most likely be successful in encouraging students to take feedback from classmates into consideration.
    4. Use rubber stamps for the classroom – Rubber stamps for the classroom allow you to add some pizzazz to your feedback and increase the chances that students will pay attention to your thoughts. After all, it’s much more exciting to get back an assignment with a colorful image and/or an encouraging message stamped on the top rather than generic pen scribblings.

5 Smart Measures for Preventing Holiday Identity Theft

Trodat Identity Theft Protection Stamp

Did you know that identity theft is most common during the holiday season? This can be attributed to the increase in credit card purchases as consumers prepare for the gift-giving holidays as well as the tendency of people to let their guard down during this time of the year. To avoid being the victim of identity theft this holiday season, be sure to follow these tips:

  1. Only bring what you need when shopping – To reduce your risk of having personal information stolen while at the mall, only carry your license and the credit cards you plan to use in your wallet. Leave unneeded items, such as your social security card and passport, at home.
  2. Purchase from reputable websites – If you prefer to do your holiday shopping from the comfort of your own home, be sure to order from trustworthy, secure websites. To determine if a website is secure, check the URL – it should begin with “https” rather than “http.”
  3. Don’t be fooled by clever thieves – Thieves don’t always look suspicious. In fact, they often dress nicely in order to trick people into thinking that they are harmless. Sometimes, they will pretend to be selling something so that you’ll give them your personal information. With this in mind, be extra cautious during the holiday season and don’t assume that you can trust people you don’t know.
  4. Look out for phony emails – A common tactic for cyber thieves is to send fake emails concerning the status of a package from UPS, FedEx or another delivery service. Because they’re typically expecting packages for the holidays, people don’t think twice about clicking on the link. But when they do so, it opens a virus that allows the criminal to gain access to the person’s confidential information. To make sure this doesn’t happen to you, always run a virus scan of all emails that you receive.
  5. Use a Trodat identity theft protection stamp – Right before the holidays, companies increase the number of catalogs they send out in an effort to get consumers to buy more. This means more mail with your personal information on it! Before disposing of this mail and other items such as credit card offers, junk mail and magazines, be sure to cover up your personal information with a Trodat identity theft protection stamp. Doing so will ensure that if an identity thief roots through your garbage, he won’t find any private details about you or your family!

No matter what you do to celebrate the holidays, taking these steps will allow you to relax and enjoy the time rather than dealing with identity theft.

Order Your Trodat Identity Theft Protection Stamp Today!

Here at Rubber Stamp Station, we feel that the Trodat identity theft protection stamp is superior to similar products on the market. That’s because this self-inking stamp is designed with a special pattern that makes printed information underneath completely unreadable. Plus, the stamp is made with high-quality materials, meaning it’ll serve you well throughout the holiday season and the rest of the year.

Preserve Your Child’s Possessions with Custom School Rubber Stamps!

Custom School Rubber Stamps

Are you the parent of a child who is constantly misplacing his/her belongings at school or daycare? Our custom school rubber stamps can make your life a whole lot easier by allowing you to label all of your child’s things so that they always get returned (or never go missing in the first place)! Here are just a few examples of custom school rubber stamps that you can create to prevent items from being lost or mixed up:

  • Lunch Stamp – Whether your child takes lunch to school in a brown bag or a lunch box, make sure it doesn’t get misplaced throughout the day by stamping your child’s name and phone number on it. On our site, you can personalize your own lunch stamp with whatever text and image you’d like.
  • Backpack Stamp – If you’re an avid reader of the Rubber Stamp Station blog, then you’re probably already familiar with our permanent school clothing stamp. But did you know that this stamp can be used on any fabric surface? That means you can stamp your student’s name and contact information on the inside of his/her backpack to ensure that it is returned if misplaced.
  • “This Book Belongs To:” Stamp – When everyone in your child’s class is reading the same book, his/her copy may get mixed up with someone else’s. This is an issue if your child likes to highlight important passages or make notes while reading. To prevent unintentional book swaps, simply make a “This Book Belongs To:” stamp that includes your child’s name and use it on all of his/her reading materials.
  • Gym Uniform Stamp – Has your kid ever come home with a gym uniform that was way too small or large for him/her, resulting in you having to buy a new one? Using a permanent clothing stamp on your child’s gym clothes will make accidental gym uniform switcheroos a thing of the past, thereby saving you time, money and stress.

Apart from these, there are many other highly useful ways to use custom school rubber stamps. To explore even more options and start creating your personalized stamps, head over to our online stamp design wizard!

5 Steps to a Greener Workplace

greener workplace

Wondering what you and your coworkers can do to reduce your impact on the planet while in the workplace? Here are a few simple tips that will help you accomplish this goal:

  1. Utilize energy-saving computer settings – Though you may not realize it, computers use a lot of energy. To cut down on unnecessary energy usage, you’ll want to make sure that your computer is set to go to sleep when it hasn’t been used for a certain amount of time (most people choose five minutes). Plus, you should power down your computer each day when you leave work. Taking these steps will benefit the planet while saving your company money on electricity.
  2. Purchase plants for your office – Bring an element of nature indoors by placing plants throughout your workplace. Doing so will purify the air you breathe by adding oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide, thereby helping everyone at your company to think more clearly. Plus, the plants will reduce dust and man-made toxins, resulting in healthier and happier employees.
  3. Find alternatives to printing – If you’re in the habit of printing out every single document that you receive or write up, think about why that is. Do you have a hard time reading documents on your computer screen? Try switching to a monitor with a glare-free matte screen that is easy on the eyes. Are you worried that your important files will get lost in cyberspace? Create an organized digital filing system that allows you to pull up your documents whenever you need them.
  4. Opt for greener ways of getting to and from work – When it comes to traveling between work and home, there are several ways to reduce your greenhouse emissions – ride your bike, take public transportation or carpool with coworkers who live nearby. The planet (and your wallet) will thank you!
  5. Invest in planet-friendly rubber stamps – Yet another way to be more eco-friendly at work is to purchase office supplies that are made with the environment in mind, such as Trodat’s planet-friendly rubber stamps. Produced with up to 65% post-consumer recycled plastic and 100% renewable energy, these stamps are some of the greenest office supplies out there. Not to mention they are fully customizable and designed to last!

As you can see, it’s easy to be eco-friendly at the office!

Everything You Need to Know About Embossing

Customizable Embossers

In case you aren’t familiar with the term, embossing is the process of adding a new dimension to any surface that can be pressed upon. The raised surface may be a seal, design, logo or pattern, depending on the specific project. Typically, embossing is done on paper, but it can also be performed on glass, wood, leather and cloth. No matter what surface you choose, embossing will add a fancy, personalized look to it.

To help ease you into the wonderful world of embossing, here are a few creative ways in which you might use this process:

  • On stationery – When you spice up your greeting cards, letters and envelopes with an embossed design, your family and friends will surely be delighted. You can emboss anything you’d like, such as “Thank You!” or your return address.
  • To personalize gifts – Want to make your gift recipient feel extra special? Use an embosser to add their name to it! You can do so on leather wallets, journals and much more.
  • On fabric and clothing – Believe it or not, embossing can even be used on furniture and attire! All you have to do is create a design that fits your style and press the embosser onto the surface of the desired fabric.

But wait, there’s more! Embossing also comes in handy for functional purposes:

  • To make business cards elegant – Looking to add flair to your business cards? Make them two-dimensional with a customizable embosser! Whether you choose to emboss your name, job title or some other information upon the card, people will be impressed that you’ve gone the extra mile to represent yourself in an elegant way.
  • On membership cards – If you’re in charge of a club that distributes membership cards, having a customizable embosser is a must. Embossing the name of your club or the member’s name will give an official look to the card and discourage people from trying to create fake versions.
  • To put braille on surfaces – Wondering how to add braille to the signs at your business? Look no further than an embosser!

As you can tell, there are endless possibilities for what you can do with an embosser.
