My Multimedia Journey

This week we had to review our comments and feedback we have been completing so far this semester. I find reading the comments on my blog posts extremely useful as it is great to see my work from someone else's point of view. Each week when I read the comments I gain something from reading them, whether it is something I need to work on or maybe an extension to an idea I had, my peers in the class have been so helpful. At first it is strange to see someone suggesting hoe your work could improve or could be changed but as time goes on and I myself am also commenting on others people work you realise that we are all just trying to help each other and there is no malice intended.  I am finding as we continue on in this module I am providing, hopefully, more helpful feedback as I am becoming more confident in my wording and approach to leaving it. I love reading other peoples blogs and I find it great that I learn from them. It's amazing to see how creative and talented the people ...

Positive thinking The first article I read this week regarding feedback was  this  New York Times article. It was short and sweet yet had a good message and made me look at negative feedback differently. I found it interesting that most of us find it hard to accept negative critique because we are so afraid ourselves to give it to other people. I personally would cringe at the thought of sitting someone down and tell them everything I think they're doing wrong but if I approached the situation with consideration and constructive criticism then it would be much easier for a person to handle.  'you can retrain your brain to actively seek out that feedback so you associate it not with anxiety, but with opportunity.'   - This is something that I am going to work on for the future. When I receive negative feedback I take it quite personally and it gets me down but if I change my mindset to see it as an opportunity to grow and learn then I will become a better worker....
