Peer Feedback on Project:

Maddie reviewed my project the day of class and said a mixture of things. She mentioned

all the negatives first and one of them was that I needed to go in more detail with my concepts

and not short worded sentences, which I did explain that it was my rough draft to at least get

ideas going on the paper then having to perfect it when final is due. She also mentioned that

some of my technologies that I had didn’t seem to reliable and that I needed be able to find more

evidence that they were actual technologies made and proves why it would be good in

classrooms. Also, some of my grammar was off so she also critiqued on that.

Other than the negatives of my paper, Maddie did mention that I had a good start on my

paper and that she couldn’t wait to read it when it was finished, which she did read when I was

finished to make sure it was good. She also stated that my subject area was very unique but also

strong because it is a core subject with multiple subjects united to create this strong subject,

which made me feel good in the rest of my project. Other than the little mistakes in my paper,

she said that my paper was headed in the right direction and just fix up her findings for it to be

great.

Implementation of feedback:

When Maddie was working on my project plan, I had her highlight and comment her

thoughts on my paper so, instantly after I looked over her comments, I wrote my own comments

to her and put what I could add in to make it stronger and more reliable of my project. When I

began fixing up my paper, I put my ideas in complete sentences and made sure grammar was

checked after each mistake. I also made sure to find more information on my technology to add

more specific detail in my plan to make it more understandable and durable for my project. With

the criticism and the positive of the peer review I was able to fix up the little details and make

my paper stronger, but also to get a look at Maddie’s paper to compare to mine and make sure I

was on the right pathway.

Learning Reflection:

What I learned about this project is that I can see how this could be someone’s final for

the class, because it takes many hours of preparation. This was one of the hardest projects I had

to do in my entire educational career and I say that because it took a lot of research and

processing for the objective of the project. Most times during the project I felt I was doing it

entirely wrong and didn’t know what was the right way to do either which also caused some

difficulties. Some things I would keep the same about this project is the subject area of my plan

as well as the technologies I used. I felt that my project was very unique because I researched

technologies instead of looking through best buy and my subject area was more technical rather

than a core subject.

Something I would do differently about this project is how much time I spent on it,

because it was one of the tougher projects I had due and I pushed it to the be the first I did and I

really just was overthinking about this project which caused more time than there needed to be

on it. Something I would have also done differently is asked more questions than I did, I feel that

would’ve help prevent all the overthinking on this project and would have given a lot more

clarity on this project. Overall, this project was a great eye opener for our future careers and be

able to have some ideas of the new advancements in technology might be in our careers and give

us some time to prepare for it.

Alternative Use/Future Directions

Most of my technologies I chose was used for multiple subjects but I felt they’d be more

useful in STEM but, a lot of subject areas I got was art and history. Initially I was confused as to

why my technologies were used for these subjects, but I did some research and the sites

mentioned the technologies like Google Glass and 3D printing create an abstract visual for these

two subjects to create better understanding in these classes. For cloud computing it’s a software,

so it will be useful more multiple core subjects or in overall education. I mentioned that my

technologies in my project would be used in multiple careers rather than education because that’s

what technologies does, it just keeps improving making it useful for everyone. Overall this

project was a great learning experience for our majors and give us the insight of the technologies

we might be in use when we become teachers in four or more years.
