For my reading task this week, I was tasked with writing 2 comments on 2 of my course members blog posts. These comments that I made were to review the blog post using a work sheet as guidance. We were also given articles to give is a better understanding on giving and receiving feedback.
After reading both "Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback" and "be a mirror" I learned that when giving out my feedback to people that I should try to give out positive as well as negative, but when giving out negative feedback dont make it a this is right and this is wrong type of feedback. Instead I give constructive criticism that shows the writer how they can improve on their work.
By doing these feedback comments I have also learned new information that is mentioned that I can apply to myself. An example of this would be in Christelle De Gamas digital media blog where she says "turning on a computer and completing an online job application require different skills”. This section made me realise that in digital media there are vast amounts of different digital literacy skills I have also learned from Kailan Purcells Study skills, active reading and media literacy blog, she says “When the brain learns it is at 100% learning capacity and by 24 hours the next day it will only be at 50% capacity of the information learned due to less frequent revising over time.” The reason why this is useful to me is because I can keep this in mind when studying in the future so that I will be able to retain more information while studying.
Before I started doing feedback I expected it to be limited to just pointing out mistakes and parts where good information was mentioned but in reality there is also a lot of information to be learned about by reading these blog posts.
