valid evaluation.

Both groups that presented today did a really good job work shopping. Not that I am biased since I was part of one half of today's presentation. :) I would just like to point out a concern of mine for the presentations to come. Judging from some feedback today I felt it was important to mention this again.

****Be completely familiar with the blog you are responsible for reading.

We are all open to constructive criticism, but I am aware of some participants receiving confusing critiques. A problem with a blog was a lack of hyperlinks, which contradicted their group's presentation comment on their ample amount of hyperlinks on the same blog. It leads me to believe that some aren't as familiar with the blog they are critiquing as they should be, which takes credibility away from any other analysis.

So for everyone's sake, make your workshop count! Know your stuff! These workshops should be useful for everyone. :)

To speak on behalf of my group (not defensively, just to offer clarification), since we decided to each cover one of the blogs in-depth for worksheet purposes and then each discuss all three blogs during our presentation in a way (we hoped would be) helpful to the whole class, there was probably just some wire crossing. The tricky thing about the whole process is that every person in class will have a different opinion on what makes something (like links) good or bad. The three of us all have distinct opinions, so it’s hard to be completely consistent. One of the joys of group workshops.

Well, live and learn. Sorry about the confusion. :)
