Leave Student’s Emoji’s for Feedback
I think many of us wish Google Classroom allowed us as teachers to add attachments or pictures to student assignments (leave feedback!). One hack I have for this is to ask students to create a Google Drawing I can leave Bitmoji’s and other feedback on. Obviously, that has its drawbacks. But did you know you can leave emoji’s ? ? in Google Classroom Private Comments?
Mobile
The easiest way to leave an emoji in Google Classroom Private Comments is to use your phone or tablet. Emoji’s are right there in your mobile device keyboard. What student doesn’t want a fun poo ? emoji?
Search Emoji Websites
Emoji’s are NOT restricted just to your mobile device! There are websites that list emoji’s, you can copy and paste from the website to the Private Comments of Google Classroom.
Private Comments
To find Private Comments in Google Classroom click on any assignment title in the Stream. This takes you to the assignment assessment screen. Click on any student’s name on the left hand side. In the bottom right of the screen you will be able to leave this student a Private Comment.
