Successful Peer-Editing. Peer-editing has always been difficult for my students.

Successful Peer-Editing

Without constant direction and supervision, peer-editing often turns into chatting about everything BUT student writing. This year I used a wonderful site to get my students excited about this part of the writing process, and, happily, I found some additional benefits as well. Voicethread is a collaborative, interactive site which uses images, audio, and text to create a multi-media slide show. Students can, for instance, record themselves reading their essays, complement them with images and music, then upload them to the site. Once uploaded, any number of "peer-editors" can view the VoiceThread and comment on them (either by recorded voice or typed text). How can you use Voicethread in your classroom?

ePeer eEvaluation? I decided to take Peer Evaluation into the eLearning sphere.

ePeer eEvaluation?

I experimented with my year 7 classes, as they have iPads. The students were registered into a class on edmodo.com. Earlier, I prepared this peer evaluation google form (picture of it below ) based on a template that I adapted from The DramaNotebook. I then posted the link to the peer evaluation form on the class' Edmodo page. You can also embed the form into a blog/Edmodo, but with iPads it might be a bit tricky for students to view the whole form, so I chose to just post the link to the form, which they access through the Edmodo app. The students were each anonymously assigned a peer to evaluate. An advantage of Google Forms is that you can hide certain columns, so I hid the columns that show the student names and projected the feedback they are giving each other, so it was all immediate and in real-time.
