What is the best way to give feedback on a piece of work produced in Google Docs? What formatting tools are most appropriate to use when leaving comments? How do you organise 30 to 60 pieces of work handed in to you? How do children hand in work? What new possibilities does this process uncover?

What formatting tools are most appropriate to use when leaving comments?

It was at the beginning of May that we began using Google Apps, and in particular the Docs tools, with the Year 5 children.

you need to make it explicit with the class what they must expect to see in their work in terms of marking and feedback.

important to have a few methods that are simple and have a clarity in terms of their feedback function

I use the highlight tool and a light shade of red to pick out any mistakes that the children may need to revisit and change.

I wanted a clear visual cue to problem spots. A method that I explored on Friday during a “live marking” (see below) session, is to change the highlight to a green when I see that the correction is made.

2 - How do I add comments within a piece of work?

For those comments that you might add in the margin of a handwritten piece I use the Docs comment feature. Place the cursor after the sentence or word you want to comment on and hit CONTROL+M, this is the quickest method for me - you can also use INSERT>COMMENT from the menu bar.

able to quickly distribute a single document and the idea of children handing work in to me. Sharing is the most important part of all of this

Here are a couple of my solutions: organise all of the Docs into a single folder that is named after the work that you are doing - this folder could be nested inside a subject folder too. In the same folder as all of the children’s work create two folders named MARKED (green) and UNMARKED (red). Now MOVE all of the Docs to the UNMARKED folder - get some marking done and move them when it is complete over to the MARKED folder.

A second method, which is much simpler, would be to use the STAR feature. Click on the star to the left of the document title. You will then be able to sort all of your documents from the STARRED view in the left bar.

I would use the star to show unmarked work
