Thank you to everyone who is following and reading the blog, and a special thanks to those of you commenting and posting- that is what makes a community successful and I encourage you to keep it up OR to give it a go!
Following on from the 'Lesser known Google Tools' Post on the Blog Round Up this week, I wanted to talk about a new feature that has been enabled in Google Docs
Last week, Google announced a new feature to the commenting capabilities on Google Docs.
Read more on this Blog post from TechCrunch
These are called 'Discussions' and they allow people collaborating on a document to have conversations in the margins of a document. You can reply directly to someone by including the @ symbol before a collaborator's name and you also have the option to be e-mailed when replies are made to your comments.
Unfortunately, this is only available for NEW documents but it does offer great opportunities, especially for those of you collaborating across the region!!
Students could also utilise this feature when working together on a shared task- watch this space- I will give this a go with Dave and let you know what we think!
Have a quick look at the video below to find out more about Google Docs Discussions in a light hearted way!! No ideas now...
Until Next time
