Peer Review #2

 Hi Everyone,

This week we had to write feedback on our peers blog posts and we read an article and learnt how to use the SPARK method when giving back feedback to our peers. I feel like this exercise really helps us build our confidence with each other and also helps us improve on our blog posts a lot more, As we get to read about how to improve on our blogs. 

The article includes 6 steps on how to give the right feedback to our peers. The first step is "overview of peer assessment", In the article it shows from previous research that giving and receiving feedback may play different roles in peer assessments, Basically the students engagement in both roles can either have a direct or indirect effect in their learning. The second step is "methodology", This is the context, subjects, and peer review process. This step also includes the data collection and analysis. The third step is "results and interpretation", This is the processes undertaken by students when giving feedback, student responses to surveys and written interactions in discussion forums. It also includes the analysis of student's responses to online surveys. The fourth step is "discussion". The fifth step is "conclusion", And the last step is to "reference".

I will now talk about the SPARK method that allows you to give quality feedback. Specific: comments are linked to a discrete word, phrase or sentence. Prescriptive: offers a solution or strategy to improve the work, including possible revisions or links to helpful resources or examples. Actionable: When the feedback is read, it leaves the peer knowing what steps to take for improvement. Referenced: The feedback directly references the task criteria, requirements, or target skills. Kind: It's mandatory that all comments be framed in a kind, supportive way.

The article and the SPARK method definitely helped to give better feedback to my peers and a better way of understanding of how to receive the feedback I get for my blog post.

Thats all for now, Bye Everyone!

Post Production

 Hi Everyone! Today I will be talking about my finished production of my project and how me and my group got on during the weeks doing this project. We have everything finished at this point. All that is left is to put everything together and make sure there are no mistakes or problems with the video. When I was first put into my group for cultural remixes I did panic as I literally had no clue what this topic was about, as we started to talk with each other in the group about the topic I actually started to get really invested in this project. I started to do my research at home after the lab we had and I found it enjoyable. I tried to research a lot of examples of cultural remixes that were taken out of context completely and that were turned into something else. I also looked at copyright issues in cultural remixes. The research I found the most interesting was when I found cultural features of video games and game usage in society.  That was all my research I did for the v...

Rewrite #3

    Hi Everyone, This week we made more progress with our groups for our projects. We met with our group to discuss all the research we have done for our project during reading week. The topic of the research was how cultural remixes were taken from cultures. The topic of the research was how different cultures influences in todays films, TV shows, etc. When we met up we decided for the video that we don't want our faces included. Kris has taken responsibility of animation for our video. We also decided for the video that we will use the B-roll step. This step is basically where you get all the shots/details for the video. We are adding this to make the video interesting to watch for the viewers.  When we met up this week in our Introduction to Digital Media lab we decided to start to write our script for next week. Kris will be doing the introduction to the video and also the animation and the rest of us will do the rest of the script. We began compiling our resear...

Another Revision

  Hi Everyone! This week I had my peers give feedback on one of my blog posts, and I had to rewrite my blog post based on the feedback I got to create a better post. I found this week's blog to be quite difficult as the feedback was very positive and I honestly didn't know what to rewrite or what to do as I was happy with the post already. It took me a bit more time than I expected but I did end up rewriting it successfully and I'm even more happy with how it turned out in the end. I read an article that really helped me rewrite my blog. In the article what really helped me was when I looked at the relevance and importance of the content that was in the feedback. I realised that I needed to give more factual information and less of waffling about unnecessary information in my blogs. I also thought about the things I could have included and why I didn't include them. Where I was going with my sentences in some areas and if they were clear to the audience and not just me....
