Peer editing is helpful but also delicate! Peer editing involves a critique from people of your own age, in your class or even a group. You should always be complimentary to begin. Find something that you like about your peers blog. Make sure that if you are going to correct something you feel needs correction, your own information is accurate. Be respectful of their feelings. Being constructive is the best way to avoid any misunderstandings.

When giving criticism, be thoughtful and helpful. It is important to understand that this person you are giving a critique to may think that their post is perfect. You would not want someone to come down hard on you on your own post so keep that in mind. I think that the children's examples of how not to act are spot on. You can damage a peers confidence and that will cause problems in their work later on as well. I think that children need to learn how to correctly edit as it will be helpful for them to understand better how to create posts. It will be important for them in the future as well.
I totally agree with you Erin, peer editing is helpful but it is also delicate. You should be cautious when giving feedback by making sure you are kind , but you also get your point across.
