Peer feedback

I thought tonight's class went well. Students shared their project ideas with each other and received feedback from their classmates on their projects. I think it was productive. My experience with students at Kanda is that students hesitate to give productive feedback to each other, preferring to praise other people's ideas. Today I heard students asking for further explanation and suggesting ways that to make their colleagues' projects better. I was pretty impressed. :) Good job.

I'm convinced now that students have their project ideas pretty well sorted out. I do think, however, that they should put some time into writing down (blogging) what it is that they need to do, step by step, in order to reach their goal of a finished project which incorporates technologies in order to reach out to the wider English-speaking world on a topic of their choice.
