1001 Reflectors Podcast 1: Improving Peer Feedback in Writing Workshops, with Chris Watson

This is part one of a talk with Chris (more to follow). The following is from the iTunes podcast notes. Since this is an enhanced podcast, with timestamp and chapter headings, you may want to download it to your iTunes or other podcast aggregator. Happy listening!

Chris Watson, HS English/Language Arts teacher at Punahou High School in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, joins fellow 1001 Flat World Tales collaborator Clay Burell of Seoul, South Korea, for a discussion about how to improve the tact, quality, and confidence of students giving peer feedback to other student writers during writing workshops. The first of a two-part podcast with Chris on the 1001 Reflections podcast series. Produced by Clay Burell for Beyond School and the 1001 Flat World Tales wiki/blog/"blook" k-12 world writing workshop. See Chris' excellent edublog, WatsonCommon, as well. Great stuff!

Clay mentioned Sightspeed during the podcast - great free program. We've used it for a couple of years now. Kids can send 30 second video emails - for 1001 Tales it could be one form of making constructive comments.
