What is Peer Editing?
I think that this video on peer editing is very helpful for students at any level of writing. This video taught me the three steps needed to be a successful peer editor, which were compliments that tell your peer what went well, suggestions that help their paper become better, and corrections in grammar. I believe that if a peer editor follows these three steps that are pointed out in this video that they will be great assistance in helping their peer successfully write better. One point that I disagreed with was that peer editing is to be done with someone your own age because I feel that there are some mistakes that someone your own age might miss and that someone older or younger than you might be able to point out.
Peer Edit with Perfection and Writing Peer Review Top 10 Mistakes
The Peer Edit with Perfection Tutorial slideshow was a great presentation that also pointed out the three steps of peer editing. I think students in grade school should practice the information on this slideshow before their first writing assignment is completed to inform them that peer editing is the best way to learn from mistakes in writing. The video Writing Peer Review Top 10 Mistakes was a really funny video that I really enjoyed watching the young kids on their present different personalities that students have on peer editing. The Whatever William section of the video was the one that I think that most students develop because most students think that the only person that should correct them is teachers or older people with more intelligence. I think that the slide show and videos should be mandatory for any students taking a course in school that deals with writing.
Hey Giorgio,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog post on peer editing. I agree with a lot of points that you made. Although you greatly stated your opinions, there may have been a few grammar problems. Also, while your two posts on peer editing were good, you are missing some parts to go along with blog post #3. The videos "Technology in Special education", How the iPad works with Academics for Autism, and Harness your Students' Digital Smarts were supposed to be watched and commented on in addition to the peer editing. Besides the missing information I think your post was fine. Keep up the good work!
Giorgio,
ReplyDeleteKayla is right. You're missing some key pieces of this post.
Namely:
c. Watch the humorous video, Writing Peer Review Top 10 Mistakes. Don’t be a Mean
Margaret or a Picky Patty!
d. Find out which classmate you have been assigned for C4C blog post assignment #2. Use
the information and knowledge that you have gained from the videos and slideshow to
honestly critique his/her blog post entry. What were the positives? Is there clarity?
Grammatical or spelling errors? Will you offer suggestions publicly (blog) or privately
(e-mail, etc.)...You decide and then tell me why you chose to comment in this way. This
is a practice too on making decisions. You will have to make them as a teacher. I think
that there are arguments for either choice. I have used both approaches. Use this
approach for all C4C assignments.
e. Write two or more paragraphs detailing what you learned from material listed in a, b and
c above.

2. Stephanie Tyler (Fall 2011) suggested that we include this blog assignment that raises
issues related to adaptive technologies:
These assignments introduce the use of technology to meet the needs of special education and to
demonstrate how technology is used to link students to other students worldwide. Addresses 3
categories: II. Using Technology in Teaching and Learning - Examples;
III. New Teaching and Learning Techniques Required/Possible Using Technology in Teaching
and Learning; IV Expanding Our World View Through New Communications Tools
a. Watch the video Technology in Special Education and write 2-3 paragraphs about this
video and how technology has affected the way special education is taught. How can you use
technology for special needs students in your classes?
b. After watching this video How the iPad Works with Academics for Autism Go to
Apple.Education Apps.com and find an app that you could use in the classroom with a special
needs students. Explain in 1-2 paragraphs how you would use the app in the classroom and
how it would improve learning.
3. Vicki Davis: Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts (4:49)
Watch the movie Harness Your Students’ Digital Smarts. Think about what you have heard and
seen. Write two or more paragraphs following the requirements in Writing A Quality Blog Post.
