**Review [|the rubric] that will be used to assess your feedback. Ensure that you understand all expectations for your work before you begin** ======

We will take part in the Horizon Project which links students around the globe. These students are creating wikis that help to explain what is "on the horizon" or the "Next big thing" (as described in the 36 page document -[|The Horizon Report]).

You are to peer review and comment on their work. Your comments will be read both by these students and by experts around the world who are evaluating the project. Your main audience is the students.

We will practice peer reviews using "3 - 2 - 1"
 * List 3 things that are very good about this wiki project.
 * List 2 suggestions for improving the wiki page.
 * List 1 piece of new knowledge our group has obtained thanks to this wiki page.

For each of the questions above consider including information about
 * Content - clarity, quantity
 * Communication - between the students as collaborators
 * Wiki Presentation - design, use of graphics, layout


 * The teams our school will look at include:**

__Mulitmedia Class__ will look at:
Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge (CSGK) [17 students] > Each team is further divided into 4 parts. Each team creates a wiki. The divisions are: and
 * The collective sharing and generation of knowledge tags: http://del.icio.us/tag/hzmeta+collectiveknowledge**
 * CSGK Wiki A (Impact on education) Tag: sb_csgkA
 * CSGK Wiki B (Impact on government, politics and employment) Tag: sb_csgkB
 * CSGK Wiki C (Impact on arts, entertainment and leisure) Tag: sb_csgkC
 * CSGK Wiki D (Impact on science and health) Tag: sb_csgkD

**Shifting of Content Production to Users** (SCPU) [18 students]

 * The shifting of content production to users tags: [|http://del.icio.us/tag/hzmeta+user+content]**
 * SCPU Wiki A (Impact on education) Tag: sb_scpuA
 * SCPU Wiki B (Impact on government, politics and employment) Tag: sb_scpuB
 * SCPU Wiki C (Impact on arts, entertainment and leisure) Tag: sb_scpuC
 * SCPU Wiki D (Impact on science and health) Tag: sb_scpuD

Your comments should go on your Group-HP page (to your left) we will later copy them to the horozon wiki. Be sure to follow the online writing guidelines to ensure that your work can be easily read online. Utilize:


 * lots of space between paragraphs
 * clear and deliberate headings in large, bold font
 * bullets to organize lists of information
 * horizontal rules (lines) to separate large sections of text
 * less writing on more pages - links, links, links!
 * images to break up the page

NOTE: These will be probably be read as soon as you post them. Remember these kids have worked very hard. Give them positive, constructive feedback to help them improve their project.

Task I:
Discuss these questions in your group:
 * What do you understand about the trend itself?
 * Why do you think the trend is important for the future?
 * If the actual report is written for adults, how could the project teams make the information easier for you to understand?
 * What would you expect to find out in each trend's section?
 * How will you decide if the project team has done a good job of their trend?


 * Does the content (writing) make sense?
 * Can you identify any areas which need clarification?
 * Pose three questions that arise from your reading - it could be questions about ambiguity of content, questions that were not addressed, or questions that you had after reading it (you would like more information).


 * Communication**
 * Look at the Discussion pages of the wiki pages - effective communication?
 * Do they need more?
 * Are they clear in their messages to each other?
 * Is there a sense of negotiation and collaboration?


 * Collaboration**
 * Does the work appear to be equally shared?
 * Does there appear to be any difficulties by one or more members of the team?


 * Presentation - Layout and Design**
 * amount and relevance of graphics and media - comment on that
 * Recommendations?

Other:

 * //What do you think are the three key facts from the project?//
 * //Evaluate the accessibility and usability of the project (video, links, alt text, etc...)? Can you find the information easily? Is it formatted clearly?//
 * //Is there anything that you would add? There may be important links or ideas that we have covered in class that you could add to this project.//
