Simple to use annotation app

How I Use It

I tend to use this app to help with building background or mind-mapping before I have students begin writing, especially at the elementary level. I find that the visual helps students stay focused on topic at had. I will use a photo that relates and add a large title to it. Then as a class, I will have the kids share their thoughts and ideas. I often color-code the students responses. For example, blue=facts, orange=opinions, green=descriptive adjectives. I then will email the poster to myself. After printing it, I hang it in the room as a reference for the students. *I have found that it works much better as a class activity than as an individual activity.
