Social Annotation

13844 Efficiency Technology Key question: Will the time invested by teachers, students, and possibly family members result in a more efficient use of time in the future? ​
Towards the end of my classroom teaching career, I found an ebook perfect for my students. However, my Native Literature team had been emphasizing annotation as a comprehension strategy for years. I searched for digital alternative and found a tool that would allow my students to read and annotate the digital text.

As I read students' digital annotations, we found advantages in sharing our thoughts with the class. I was able to review annotations before class to see where students were confused and what issues might be discussed as a class. I was also able to embed my own multi-media annotations in response to students' questions.

Like in some of other experiences, the digital annotations showed me the importance of social interactions in learning. However in this case, social annotations did not just mean sharing end products with others but learning through shared practices.
