Peer Review - the one completed on my website and blog

My reviewer was very generous in her evaluation of my website. I received an email from her straight away to let me know she was doing my review. Through a few emails I ended up helping her out with a few things and she (I don't think it professional to mention name here) asked me to have a look at her instructions. I made the time to have a quick look and over the next few days we both were discussing how we were receiving error messages and having all sorts of trouble with Yola. Sometimes knowing you are not alone is a big help. I think we supported each other very well.

I value the comments received and have made a few changes to my site. I have discussed a few ways to use the Flickr resource and emphasised why I have not gone into detail with these sections as they are areas that are not privacy protected. I hope that this covers this area. I am very aware that I could have done a YouTube and in time this is something that I want to approach. I was very time poor at the time of doing this up and made the decision to lose a few marks of this assignment if need be to be able to approach my prac with open eyes each day and a clear head. I have this on my must learn to do list before the end of the unit so I accept the comment well.

A screen save of the comments made by my reviewer:

As for the blogs I thought I had completed the required blogs for the week we were up to and I have now done a lot more. I have discussed this with Jenni as my blog in Yola has been inoperative for some time and I have now converted to using blogger.com and I am in catch up mode. Yola was not allowing me to do links or anything so I know that I can really make my blogs a lot more appealing visually. By the end of the semester I hope to have this all looking much better.

I really think the Peer Review system is a great idea and encourage the Tutors to leave this in the assessments for future years. It gave me a good sense of rubric use and allowed me to carry out the assessment process. As a third year student I have completed units on assessment and we briefly touched on rubrics. I appreciate the opportunity to expand on this learning. Hands on authentic learning!
