Peer Review #2

 

    Hi,

This week's reading Task included me having to read two other students' previous written blogs and give feedback.

I learned a lot from this task in different ways. Reading other peoples blogs allowed me to notice the different things that would also help me improve on my blog for example being more clear and more detailed on different topics that I talk about to allow those reading to get a better understanding of the topic itself and my thoughts and ideas that I am trying to get across.

I also learned that something as simple as structuring or laying my blogs out a bit better with paragraphs or paying more attention to my punctuation allows my writing to make more sense to others. I now understand that this task was very beneficial to both me and the person receiving the feedback this is because they are getting critiqued and can then make improvements in the future to better themselves and their writing and it benefits me because I can see what they did good and apply it to my writing in the future and I can see what they may have done bad and watch out for the likes of that in my writings and try to avoid it.

I also learned that while I didn't want to give people negative feedback that if I just constantly give positive feedback the person receiving it won't learn how to improve on different things and this applies to any form of feedback not only feedback on writing assignments.

In the future I would like to improve on giving better feedback because I feel that one of my faults as I focused more on the positives in each person's blogs rather than the negatives that they could improve on, so from this task I will know next time to try focus on what they could improve on rather than what was done good but also to make sure to praise what was done well so they are more inclined to take the feedback on board.

-Megan.

 Hi, In this blog, I am going to talk about how digital media companies found that there is a big lacking in helping other users to understand the online environment. From reading this article ‘Digital Media Companies Found Lacking in Helping Users Understand the Online Environment’. According to Kirk (20202), a digital news report highlights that 62% of people surveyed had ongoing worries over miscommunication and misinformation online.  I found the above statement to be the most interesting statement for me because I feel that even though surveys state that 62% of people that were surveyed had ongoing worries that all stem from miscommunication and misinformation online, many people are very reliant on the online environment and believe that what they see is true. For example, many teenagers are very involved in social media and with the lives of influencers and they believe that how the influencers have portrayed themselves online is how everyone’s lives should be or how ev...

Another Revision

  Hi, This week we were given feedback from our peers and using the given feedback we were asked to re-write our original pieces but to apply the feedback to our work so that hopefully our work will improve and we can learn from our mistakes for future assignments. Overall this week the feedback that I received from three people was very positive and had very little improvement to do for this week's task. I enjoyed hearing what I had done that was good in my blogs and I feel it also keeps me motivated to continue to write because I know that although there are things that I could improve on I also know that there are strong parts in my blog. My positive feedback included things such as: Good Grammar and Punctuation. That the blog was based on my opinions and backed up with facts. It was easy to follow due to the structure and layout. Good flow to the blog due to going from one topic to the next. Was straight to the point. I was very happy with this feedback and will do my best to m...

Digital Media

  Hi, In this blog, I am going to discuss my thoughts on the ideas that were mentioned in each of the videos I have watched. Firstly, I am going to talk about my thoughts on the very first video ‘Digital Media Are Networked’.          I fully agree with the ideas that were mentioned yes Media today has greatly improved and has many benefits such as being able to connect with others with similar interests from everywhere, being able to receive news quicker rather than waiting to read the newspaper the next day, etc. and it also helps people with work/education to access information for study/work, etc.  Although there are many advantages to it there are also some disadvantages, for example, people may use it for school/work but one of the main implications people face while doing this is that not all sources are reliable sources and could cause you to believe/rely on incorrect information. I will now express my thoughts on video number two ‘Digital Lite...
