Peer review Say no to analog education: Join digital learning
Say no to analog education: Join digital learning
http://joindigitallearning.blogspot.com/
Review by Artie Gajapersad
Introduction
Last week’s assignment was to write a peer review about the blog of one of my fellow students. I choose for digital learning. The reason for this is that personally I don’t know much about the subject and I am curious about it. There are two groups who are dealing with this concept, I will write a review about the blog ‘Say no to analog education: Join digital learning’.
Lay-out
When you open the blog, the first thing that will catch your attention is the image with the blue skull with brains, it looks kind of futuristic (and if you like sci-fi a little bit, just like me, you can appreciate it), and fits with the blog because I think the subject overall is futuristic. The image is wisely chosen When reading the title of the blog ‘Say no to analog eduaction: Join digital learning’ the subject of the blog is very clear. This is very important, because readers will decide to read your blog, or not, by the lay-out of your blog. The title also says that the writers are, obviously, supporters of the digital learning-concept.
They have chosen for a neutral background color, lightblue, and a simple structure, this together makes the blog well-organized with a professional touch. However, the use of words like ‘Grtz’ in some articles diminishes the professional touch.
The absence of other (unnecessaray) images contributes to this. The writers use SlideShare to upload most of their assignments.
Content
In the very first post the writers introduce theirselves and their topic. I think that is a good way to start a blog.
Looking at the content of the blog, I think the language they use in the articles is very clear and understandable. They are very creative with their literature when writing an article or an essay. The titles of the articles are inviting to read. Mostly the articles have a introduction, but not a (clear) conclusion. Personally I like essays with subtitles or white lines, it makes the reading process easier for me, especially when the essays are long.
The writers also put a lot of effort in searching for other material for their subject, such as clips and presentations.
What I like most of this blog is that the writers are all exploring another part of the subject, I think. In this way a wide understanding about the concept of digital learning develops throughout the blog.

Peer review Media Fruitcakes
This peer review is about the blog Media Fruitcakes, which can be found on this website: Media Fruitcakes Blog
I choose to do the review about this blog because I was very interested after the presentation they gave in Pecha Kucha style, which was done very nicely.
The first thing that you see is the lay-out. Before you read the blog you instantly develop an opinion about it, because of how it looks. Het media fruitcake design is simple, but it looks very professional. The pictures on the top of the page are nice. The name Media Fruitcakes really speaks to the imagination, but I don’t know instantly what it is about.
In the first post it is discussed on which question the blog is based on, the question from ‘Woedend!’. This is a clear introduction, but in the next post they give 4 sources to answer the question. But maybe it would be better if there was a further introduction more on the subject, before they give the sources. And why the name Media Fruitcakes?
It is smart that they narrow down the question quite fast. So their essay about New Media gives a more clear answer.
The blog is well composed, the more you read, the closer you get to the answer of the question which is asked in the first post. It is also clear that the makers know a lot about making a blog, with good references and a good looking website.
At some posts it wouldn’t hurt if they were more critical about a subject. They give a lot of information which relates to their subject, but not everything should be taken as the truth. On the other side it is hard to prove that something is wrong, because after all, we are still students.
In the blog they look at their subjects on very different ways, economic, social and innovation. This is very positive, because you get more insights about the topic. But at the end, I still don’t know why they choose the name Media Fruitcakes. Maybe a looked over the answer and they did explain it, or maybe I don’t know because of my lack of digital knowledge.
At the end it is clear that this is a very interesting blog. The website looks good, and the content is of a high standard.

Peer Review of BNN and social media
BNN and social media
Link: http://bnn-socialmedia.blogspot.com/
Review by Linda van der Meer
For this week the assignment was to write a critical review about the blog of one of my fellow students. I choose the blog about BNN and social media because I think they use a lot of different types of media to make their statements such as video, tables and pictures. I really enjoyed following their blog throughout the course. I also liked the subject about social media and the relation it has with television.
First of all something about the way there blog looks. When opening the website the first thing you see is the logo of BNN and the subtitle ´And social media´. It is very clear which subject they are addressing and it makes me want to know more about the particular research they have done. They kept their blog very minimal with a light grey back color. This is either good and bad. It makes sure you focus on the content but I don´t think new readers will be attempted to read further. They do have a very good introduction on the right site of the blog. They give a welcome, explain the assignment, talk about what BNN for organization is and they even introduce their selves in a funny way. I really like all the extras they use to make their blog look interactive. They have videos about ´De wereld draait door´, they use SlideShare and they have good cartoons and tables which matches the topic their attending. The only thing, in my opinion, they could improve is the colors and the lay-out of their posts. The video with Christmas wishes was the best! Very funny!
Now I will have a look at the content of their blog I think they wrote very clear and understandable essays. They used the literature in a good way. Not only do they give quotes they also address the theories discussed by Croteau and Hoynes to their own problem discusses on their blog. Furthermore, they use al lot of cases so they can compare those with their own topic and problem. The cases they use are for example TMF and Skittles, with this they provide more background information and I think that is a very smart thing to do. It gives you a better look at the problem and you understand the way they are looking at the problem better. I have one negative point of critique. In most of their posts you have to click on a link to get more information. This way you can´t read all the information they have at once. I think it makes it more complicated to use all those links. For the rest very good information about BNN and social media.
As a last point in my review I will give you a recommendation for further research. I would like to see more focus on the way BNN is already using Social media. What kind of developments has BNN already had? Was this a good choice for them? How do they now use social media? So, instead of focusing on the future I would also like to see what BNN has accomplished so far. Your blog was a joy to read and I would just say: Keep up the good work!

Peer review social networks 2.0
Social networks 2.0
http://dobelievethehyve.wordpress.com/
Review by Tamara Bakker
For this week’s assignment we had to write a peer review about a blog of our fellow students. After looking at all the different blogs I selected the blog of http://dobelievethehyve.wordpress.com/ because the topic interested me and I would like to get to know more about it.
Layout
The first thing I looked at was the layout of the blog. The layout of a blog is very important because it gives you your first impression. When only looking at the layout of the blog the subject of the blog should be clear. In this case it is. The title on top of the page ‘social networks 2.0’ says it all. The picture of the honeycomb illustrating the title immediately caught my eye. In my opinion this picture is wisely chosen for this blog. It represents the social network sites where everybody puts their part of the information online. Together this forms a whole, just like the bees do with the honeycomb. A wise choice of the image!
Secondly my attention is drawn to the four columns the blog is divided in. I think this is a very smart move of the makers of this blog. In this way they create order in their blog and this makes navigating and reading very easy. One critical point here is the organization of the content in the columns. The group members tell who they are and what their assessment is in the third column. In my opinion they better could have placed this information in the first column.
Content
Looking at the content of the blog, the first thing that I notice is that the blog makers have been very active. They have gathered a lot of information and video’s about their subject. This shows that they are very committed to their blog. Unfortunately the activeness of the makers stops when there are no more assignments to be done. Although this isn’t very surprising, it is causing the blog to be outdated. When no new messages will appear on the blog, this will not motivate the visitors to come back.
The information given on the blog is very complete. A lot of different aspects of Hyves are being discussed. Especially the subject of cross media action is being well discussed. These articles show a lot of possibilities for Hyves in the future.
A very interesting post is the one about how social media can contribute to news reporting. This is, in my opinion, a very realistic aspiration for the future. I think this is a very effective way to use Hyves.
Final grade
The makers of this blog have done a very good job in gathering all the information, writing the articles and putting all this information together in a blog. They have created a very good total view of the possibilities for Hyves in the future. As a final grade I would therefore like to give this blog a 8,5.

Short peer review
The assignment for week 7 is to write a short peer review on one blog of my fellow students. This peer review mainly consists of describing the good and bad points of the blog and I will provide some recommendations.
I have chosen to write a peer review on the blog of Johnny Broeders, Wouter van den Buuse, Leo van der Wal and Ellen Valckx. On their blog they discuss the problem of Marc Adriani of BNN. http://tsci2009.blogspot.com/
The first thing I notice when I look at their blog is that the lay-out is very professional. They have not used a lot of color and kept the background neutral. They only used a big header, which I think is a example of 'less is more'.
The second thing I like about their blog is that they introduce their selves in the first article they have posted and that there is a link to their Hyves profile. They also introduce and explain the central question very well.
The language they use in their articles is very understandable, because it is not to academic, which I like. Another thing I like very much about their blog is that they have used one article per assignment, so you can read the whole assignment at once. They also have used SlideShare in different ways, which I think is very ingenious. A negative point of using SlideShare so many times is that people only look at the lay-out and maybe not pay a lot attention to the information of the articles. Every assignment is well built up and ends with a clear conclusion.
A negative point about this outline is that there is a lot of information you have to read and that the conclusion is mostly a bit short. Maybe this could be a point of recommendation.
Another negative point can be that the assignment of week 4 is very brief. I think that not all participants have written the same length of the article.
To end this peer review about the blog of Johnny Broeders, Wouter van den Buuse, Leo van der Wal and Ellen Valckx, I want to say that I think it is impressive that this group made such a good blog, even after Leo van der Wal decided to quit. Furthermore I enjoyed reading this blog, because of all the new viewpoints they showed the reader every time. I think they put a lot of effort in making this blog!
