- Find our WRD 104 Hypothesis Group and try sharing a generative annotation or note; see your email for instructions
- Annotation tips
Initial & Informal notes
Pro:
- free
- easy to use
- can reply to others’ annotations
- can insert images and links
- can view annotations as a list, out of visual context, or in context
- can see what classmates thought about the reading; different perspectives
Con:
- not easy to find one’s own previous annotations (check under profile?)
- required to use Chrome
Goals/purposes:
- can annotating like this cause you to slow down, because you know that you’ll need to contribute a thoughtful, mindful, generative, additive annotation?
- can we use these “social annotations” as in-class prompts next week? What difference can they make?
Questions:
- What’s the difference between an annotation and a note?
