Voice Comments in Google Drive

Kaizena is a Google Docs add-on that allows teachers to create text comments, voice comments, link to resources and lessons, and provide rubric style feedback on skills. Simply highlight a portion of the document and select how you'd like to give feedback.

Here is a video that outlines everything you need to know to get started including how teachers and students enable the add-on in Google Docs.

New Commenting Capabilities in Google Drive

Google is in the process of rolling out the option to comment on the preview page for Microsoft Office files, images, and PDFs. This allows collaboration through comments without having to convert all files to Google Documents. This functionality will be available to all users by the end of February. For more information, take a look at the G-Suite Updates blog post.
