Review a document

 

Level of difficulty: Basic

As an educator you will encourage your learners to use the word processor to write essays and similar classwork assignments. The advantage of using the word processor to do this is that you can give them feedback and they can make changes to their saved documents without having to rewrite the document. MS Word has useful document reviewing features such as "Track changes" and "Commenting".
