Lecture four focused on how to complete the peer review element of Task 1 via LMS. It was recommended that you review your own web site, blog and social networking site to practice reviewing and also to confirm that you yourself have met all the required criteria.
This step by step guide on completing the peer review was informative and made me feel less apprehensive about reviewing another persons work. I also recognised the importance of giving appropriate comments that can be used for positive feedback. As a future teacher it is important that constructive feedback is given to the student because this is a crucial aspect of learning.
In this weeks tutorial Jenni emphasised the importance of constructive feedback and suggested that we start with the positives and then provide information and examples of how we feel that an aspect could be improved. Jenni also made it clear that the comments one makes reflects back on yourself so it is necessary to always be polite and remember that everyone has their own opinion.
During tutorial we discussed in groups how to give constructive feedback by analysing sample web sites. The task was much harder than I imagined it would be but by communicating with the different groups and listening to others suggested comments and approaches I began to feel more confident and understand that you can suggest areas that need improvement but you need to give evidence to support your opinion.
I am now excited about the prospect of getting feedback on my website, blog page and social networking space because I feel that I have hit a brick wall now and I need someone else to give their opinion in order to make improvements.
