RE: Peer Review

The FLEXE ESSP developed a really cool peer review system several years ago that allowed classrooms to collaborate in such a way that students would write research reports on similar topics (carbon cycle, surface temperature, etc.) and then be matched with other students so that they could exchange and peer review those reports. Although I do not have the precise data, I do know that students enjoyed the opportunity to share their work and receive feedback from peers outside their classroom or school. They were more "harsh" on each other than their teachers were, but also showed an increased interest in raising the quality of their work.

I think with the new user based system it would be a great opportunity to re-explore this peer review system.

Thanks Sarah, I appreciate your comments! We've talked with Liz Goehring prior to the launch of the new Website and plan on rekindling this discussion now that our website is operational. These tools were very valuable (and should continue to be valuable) and if at all possible we plan to incorporate them into the new Website.
Best, Gary emoticon (thought I'd add a PacMan emoticon... For no other reason than it's Friday!)
