Annotating Using Digital Tools
Date/Time: Thursday, June 3, 2021 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Seats Filled: 5 / 20
Location:Region 08 ESC, 2 Data Room
Important Breakout Information:
The act of annotating is a multisensory interaction with text which makes a much stronger imprint on your mind. Therefore, when done correctly, annotating texts can lead to deeper understanding and greater retention and processing of important information. Because of this, annotation can help in ANY subject. It's not just an English class skill, it's a reading skill - and reading happens in every course. In this session, we will look at various technology tools available for annotation, including Kami, Pear Deck, Jamboard and Flipgrid. Participants will discover the benefits of teaching annotation as well as apply their learning through engaging, authentic tasks.
