Kiss Principle for Technology
• Keep it simple - just build on what you are doing;
• Instructional design - should be about the curriculum and
learning not the technology;
•
• Students - pick it up faster than us - we don’t need to be
the expert in the technology.
• Sustainability - technology does not have to be latest and
greatest, but we do need to model how to use these new
technology appropriately and responsibly.

?
• Set realistic goals for peer
review and explain them fully
(and often) to students.
– Failure – students don’t know what to
do.
– Before, during, and after peer review
sessions, take time to explain your
goals for peer review.
• My main goal for peer review is to
emphasize to students that writing is
fundamentally a form of communication
between real people.
• Talking face-to-face about a paper can help
writers articulate what they are trying to
say in their papers.
• It is also a chance for real readers to tell
writers what they're hearing and what isn't
coming across clearly.
• Do peer review more than
once.
– It takes practice
• Guide your students with
central questions and
focused tasks.
– "What is the writer trying to
say/argue for in this piece?“
– "How can s/he make this
argument more effective and
persuasive?"

How Do You Make Peer Review Work
http://mendota.english.wisc.edu/~WAC/category.jsp?id=20
?• Help your students see
the difference between
revision and editing.
– Students must understand
difference between revision
and editing.
• Revision - tightening up or
shifting focus, clarifying purpose,
cutting, adding, reorganizing,
taking the conclusion as new
introduction and starting over,
etc.
• Editing – comes later - grammar
and mechanics
• Encourage both
honest responses and
constructive advice.
– Outlaw "scoulding" on
each other ("You should
do this..."). Instead, ask
them to phrase their
responses in "I"
language ("I hear..., " "I'm
confused when…," "I'd
like to hear more
about…," etc.).

?
• Give students a clear
format for peer review
and require written
reviews (either a
worksheet or a letter to
the writer).
• Procedure to follow on the
board:
1. Divide time evenly between group
members.
2. Writer of each piece presents main
concerns (which may have changed after
seeing other papers).
3. Each reader gives the writer an honest
response to her/his piece, making sure to
articulate what s/he thinks the writer's main
idea is ("mirroring").
4. After writer's purpose or thesis is clear,
move into open discussion of questions and
suggestions for the writer.
5. Writer sums up suggestions and tells group
her/his plan for next draft.

16. Publishing 102: Types of Publishing
Online and in Professional Communities
Anyone on the Internet can get to your online publication.
The pressing question for authors is how many and what
types of people do you WANT to read the publication?
It's always important to keep in mind the intended audience
for your work, as well as the audience you might get.
The appearance of the page, as well as its content, makes
a big difference in how attractive it is to the eyes of
professionals versus the general public.

17. Publishing 102
Intellectual Property - There is a great deal of debate
nowadays about whose ideas on the web belong to
whom.
Most problematic scenario would be people
plagiarizing your online work and then later accusing
you of plagiarizing them. There are techniques - such
as water-marks and time-stamping a document - that
can help verify the originality of your online
publications.

18. Publishing 102: Do's and Do
Not’s
http://users.rider.edu/~suler/psycyber/publish.html#audience
• Make the page layout simple, nice to look at, and easy to read on a monitor. Spare people from eye strain: use a clear font
size and color.
• Use graphics to catch the reader's eye and to illustrate an idea or theme in the article. Avoid the clutter of too many
graphics.
• Don't use frames unless it *really* is the best way to help readers navigate through the site.
• Try to respond to all e-mail, even if it is a kid in school who is treating you like an information-machine that will feed him
data for his report. Even a one-liner can be enough as a polite, humane reply.
• Remember that "making money" is not the only way a publication can be valuable to you. There's more to an author's life
than royalties.
• Register your publication with the major search engines.
• Remember that the web is always in flux. Other sites move around or disappear. Try to keep up with fixing dead links.
• Try NOT to move your own publication, unless absolutely necessary. Try not to change the urls of your pages. Avoid
becoming part of that web flux. If you do, people will have a harder time finding your work.
• Send e-mail to owners of other web sites who may be interested in your work. But avoid the notice that looks like an
automated commercial that's being sent to everyone and their brothers. It's tacky. Take the time to write a personal
message.
• Use that spell-checker!
• Help out visitors who land somewhere in the middle of the site. Let them know where they are and give them links to find
their away around.
• It's a pain in the neck, but test your pages on all the major browsers and platforms. A page may look wonderful on your
machine, yet come across as a mess on someone else's.
• To help people know that they're still in your space, keep a distinctive look throughout the publication. Clearly label links
that lead people off the site.
• Don't expect every single duck in your publication to be in its row. Nothing is perfect, except perhaps imperfection.
• Remember that if your work is good, word will spread.
