Using Comments in Google

The commenting feature makes it easy to request help with your document, and it allows you to reply to comments or mark them as resolved. Students can easily use this feature then share it with their teacher or peers to get feedback on specific questions they may have. This can also work in reverse; teachers (and peers) can use it to give feedback to students before a final draft is turned in. The comment stream will act as a guide for students in their editing of draft documents. For a student to get feedback from a teacher or peer, the document must be shared with the ones you want to get feedback from.
