I checked the Peer Review system on LMS and discovered that I had two reviews for our group Wiki.
The person who did Review 1 said how much they liked our group Wiki because it was fun, engaging and clear. They also enjoyed our online presentation and said that it was evident that we had spent a lot of time planning and implementing it. Review 1 mentioned no areas that needed to be improved, however, it was pointed out that there were some minor speaking mistakes on our online presentation.
Review 2 suggested that we needed to be more explicit about the teaching area, year level and project overview on our Wiki Home Page. It was also suggested that the "9 Elements of Authentic Learning" table, (that we had created), needed further explanation of how we incorporated the "9 Elements of Authentic Learning" into our project.
I quickly checked our Wiki and I personally think that our Wiki Home Page does cover the required elements, (as stated in the Marking Rubric), and I also believe that our table, describing how we have incorporated the "9 Elements of Authentic Learning" into our project, gives a thorough explanation. However, I decided to log into Face Book to ask the other members of the group what they thought of my review comments and to find out what comments they had received.
After sharing our reviews Tegan decided to alter the Home Page slightly by enlarging the title to make it clear that the Wiki site and project related to volcanoes.
Sarah said that she had received a comment about the teacher tips not being in line with the lesson plan so she removed the widget boxes and incorporated the teacher tips into the same table as the lesson plan outline.
I decided to add a link to a word-search-maker site, (in Resource 3 on the Student Resources Page), because I remembered Jenni saying that although word searches are good it is better to get the students to demonstrate their critical and creative skills by making their own.
We all decided that the explanation of how we incorporated the "9 Elements of Authentic Learning" into our project was sufficient and did not need to be altered. As a group we are aware of the minor speaking mistakes within the online presentation, however, it is so difficult to produce a perfect narration so we decided to stop re-recording and stressing because we were happy with the content and the end product.

Overall I am happy with the Peer Reviews that our group Wiki has had because, (according to our group discussions via Face Book and our mobile phone discussions), they have all been positive and everyone seems to have enjoyed the project that we have created.
