The idea of immediate feedback seems to be all the rage when it comes to providing 21st century on-demand instruction these days. Just as with technology, the ways educators can learn to provide feedback to students is constantly changing. A great tool for providing feedback inside of Google Docs that I've heard a few others talk about is Kaizena: a voice commenting tool that is integrated with Google Drive. Kaizenia allows for feedback to be fast, personal, and actionable.
To find/connect Kaizena to your Google Drive, simply click on "Create" and then "Connect more apps".
After installing Kaizena and linking it to your Drive (aka... no new logins/passwords), you'll be able to launch the application directly from the document you need to provide feedback on. Here are two great videos for getting to know Kaizena that I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching before you implement:
Another really cool thing about this voice comments app is that it allows you to really provide students with not only feedback but directions on the next steps they could take in their learning process.
Try it out! I'm eager to hear how your students react to this feedback versus using the usual text-comment mode in Docs.
