Today in class we had our first major peer review workshop, and I could not be more thankful. As I have stated in several posts, I am very new to this whole technology based learning and have very little previous experience with blogging, so I was excited to hear constructive criticism and receive feedback from my classmates.
During the workshop I was able to not only receive feedback, but give it which really helped me further my understanding of blogs and how they should be organized. By critiquing my peer's blogs i was able to look at the blogs from an objective viewpoint. What drew me in? What kept me interested? And what would I have wanted to see more of? By participating in this workshop I feel as though I will be able to take the advice I gave my classmates and work in into my future posts.
I found that the suggestions I got from my peer reviewers will help me a lot in continuing the process of creating my clubhouse blog. One weakness of my blog that was brought to my attention from my classmates was that, although my aesthetic appeal was on point, my blog lacked any visual aids. After talking with my classmate, she helped me come up with a few great ideas for pictures that would make my posts more eye-catching and interesting, as well as a better layout to emphasize my visual aesthetics.
Overall, this workshop helped me more than I originally thought it would. It not only allowed me to recieve feedback, but also forced me to engage in the process of blogging deeper by looking at other blogs from a reader's point of view.
