HI Everyone,
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving break and are well rested and ready to tackle the end of the semester.
We will be meeting in our regular classroom on Tuesday to do a peer review of the City Stories project and of your e-portfolio sites in advance of the STEAM festival this upcoming weekend.
Please bring your laptop.
You can find your peer review group below.
Take a minute to look at the work of your group mates in advance of class. You should plan to discuss the following:
What is the City Story project presented and what inspired it?
What connection do you see between the form and content of the piece?
What suggestions do you have for ways that they might develop the project further if they were so inclined?
Does the creator give enough information about their inspirations for you to be able to locate them so as to understand the connection better?
In addition, you should be prepared to talk about your e-portfolio sites and those of your group mates. To prepare for this part of the peer review, you should consider the following questions about your own site.
What do you want people to walk away with after visiting your site? Have you achieved this?
What do you like best about your site? What would you like to change?
Test your site for accessibility: Are things easy to find (images, texts, projects) easy to find? Do your entries feel too long or too short?
Think about the sites of the classmates in your peer review group. Which site do you like best and why? What elements from their eportfolio site would you like to incorporate into your own?
In the peer review you will be asked to discuss whether your own perception of the site matches those of your group mates and what you can do to further enhance the site. Denisse will be in class to help with technical issues, so if there are issues you know need to be addressed, be prepared to spend time working with her.
Till soon!
