Comments – The New Feedback

Google Docs allows you to add comments to the share document, presentation, etc. This is a useful way to share ideas or give feedback to students. Comments that you leave on students’ documents can be commented on by the students as well, and back and forth. This provides a way to have a conversation about the progress of a project/research paper or to get clarification from a student or simply to provide feedback.

To insert a comment:

·        Click in the document or select the words where you want the comment to be linked.

·        Click “insert” in the top menu bar then click “comment”

·        A comment box will appear to the right of the document where you can type in your comment.

 

·        This comment will not be visible to others who share the document. These comments will not appear when the document is printed.

·        Collaborators can reply to any comment by typing in the box labeled “Reply to this comment”

·        You can also click the links to “Edit” your existing comment or to “Delete it”.

·        You can also click “Resolve” to close the comment from further replies.

·        Or you can click the “comments” button in the top right corner of the document or presentation to leave general comments not tied to a specific part of the document.

 

 

Tune in tomorrow for yet another way to help save the planet.
