Google Frog incorporation question

[mmclaughlin]

A teacher emailed me

The issue I am having is leaving feedback for students using the comment feature within a Google doc that has been assigned via FROG.  I strongly prefer the flexibility that opening and making comments directly into the Google document versus the Feedback feature in FROG assignments.  The issue is that when students complete and assignment with a google activity, the assignment becomes View Only for the student.  In this mode they cannot see comments.  My suggestion is to have a method for student permission for the assigned Google doc to become "Can Comment".  This would allow students to not only see my comments, but also to make corrections to their assignments as a reteaching strategy.   Is this a setting that can change easily?  Does it need to go into the portal.  He doesn't want to use the feedback function because the google comments are easier for him to give.   Matt

It's an Ideas Portal one I'm afraid.

The comments can sometimes be the obvious option, but there is no way to print them out.  Text boxes and different coloured fonts can get similar results.
