Peer Feedback
I reviewed two of my classmates blogs, to help them further improve their wonderful work. I decided to review posts that I had also written about to better educate myself, and to better understand their research. The questioned that I reviewed was “Could I live without Digital and Communication Technology?”

Isabelle, first I would like to say how amazing and creative your blog looks. It is inviting and very on trend. I had a read of ‘could we live without tech?’, as I also wrote about this question. I really enjoyed that you spoke about the safety aspect of technology because we often forget this. Maybe you could briefly include the opposite effect, such as Cyberbullying. You could discuss the effects cyberbullying is having on students. You could include how Australia is initiating banning mobile phones from the classroom because of the ever growing issue of cyberbullying. (Butler, 2011). I hope this is constructive and helpful.

Stephanie, I absolutely loved the style of your blog. It was easy to follow and find everything I needed. I found it really interesting that you said you feel unsafe not having a phone in case of an emergency. Maybe you could dive into that a little more. A study researched the implications of homeless young people not having mobile phones and the danger that is involved when this communication is taken from them. (Woelfer, 2011). This could further support your argument that if we did not have our mobile phones on us we would in fact be unsafe.
