So You Would Like to Learn More!This section will help you learn a little more about what feedback is, what are some common ways you can implement it into your own classroom, and how to leverage digital tools like Adobe Spark to record peer feedback for later review and implementation.

Bringing Feedback to Your ClassroomIn a Digital Media classroom like mine, the idea of feedback should be common place. This does not mean feedback can only exist in creative spaces! Students should get used to the idea that no project will be perfect from the get go, and that it is super important for another set of eyes should have a look.

Feedback is even more relevant when it comes from a community member or even an industry partner.
