In the latest update in Google Drive, there is a feature that you can use when editing a Google Doc. When I am giving feedback to my students on work that they are developing online in their Google Drives I have in the past used the "Comment" option but students have found this hard to follow. Some times students have also not been able to see my comments. So to reduce stress and repeating all the wonderful feedback given, I began simply editing by typing in the body of a students work in a different colour.
Now I have discovered a new feature (thanks to Aimie) called "Suggesting" in the editing options.
Love it! It's doing what I want. By this I mean, I am able to make comments and question student work in the body of their Google Doc so that they can follow the thread of thought and it shows in a different colour. These comments can also be adopted by clicking on the tick such as when I have helped correct the grammar or some typo. Nice work Google.
