List TWO compliments and TWO suggestions about the article content
 * Hints:

Compliments   The photo adds interest to the article which makes it visiually appealing.  The article provides the reader with a variety suggestions of ways to incorporate technology into the classroom. The interview provides a first-hand account of how a teacher incorporates technology into her own lessons.

 Suggestions   There are great examples of different types of technology. You could define or explain each type in addition to providing examples, which would improve learning target achievement in addition to providing valuable information to the reader. .  The photo adds a great deal of interest to the article. Additional photos or graphics that show technology at work in the classroom would heighten reader interest. Sidebars that provide weblinks to valuable teacher resources would be helpful and reinforce the use of technology in the classroom. 

You can make compliments and suggestions that relate to specific areas of the paper or to the paper in general. I suggest a mixture of both. Focus on what's most important. Of course, you can also include more than two suggestions and more than two compliments. The goal is to help the author improve his/her article.
