Revision History Analytics

Do you use Google Docs with your class to have them collaborate on a project, story, etc.?  Ever wonder who did all of the work, sure we can click on Revision History, but that can take some time. Well, this new Add-On might be of interest to you.

By clicking on Total Words (at the bottom of the sidebar) you can see what an individual did.

In my opinion, this is one tool that could make using Google Docs in the classroom just that much better!
