The hardest decission I had when writing this essay was how I wanted to start off my paper. I knew that wanted to touch on technology and how and how we have to learn when enough is enough and be content with the point we reached. I wanted to show how both writers showed this idea through their texts. It was hard to find the exact quotes I wanted to use from "Cats Cradle" because unlike "Human Factor" I had not previously high lighted the interesting parts I wanted to touch on. The peer editing helped me varify the fact that I did need to go back into the text and find some more supportive quotes.
I really liked the online peer editing. It was nice to see what other students had chosen to write about and see other ways which I could approach this essay. It was also cool when you would see that many of the other students agreed with you, and had many of the same ideas in their essays. The comments were very helpful. Most the comments gave you a boost of confidence to keep sharing your ideas. They also verified some ideas that I already had planned to do with my essay. I also appreciated when one student complimented one way which I had used to transission from one paragraph to another. Getting comments like this helped me decide what parts I should keep and not revise. Overall I think this was great way to peer edit. Technology defiantely helped in this scenario.
