7. USING TECH: COLLABORATIVE ANNOTATION (Collaboration, Writing)
Description: This web-based protocol allows students to become adept at research and annotation while at the same time contributing to a group goal.
Application: This use of technology presents a new way for students to work collaboratively in finding and assessing information, sharing ideas, and increasing knowledge.
Process: Technology preparation: Go to a website such as Diigo, Reframe It, MyStickies, or Google Sidewiki. Register and notice the tool bar on the browser menu for the program. (The application then superimposes a “layer” over any web page. This layer stores highlighting and comments and can be seen only by those who have been granted viewing permission.) Set up a web group for a specific class and assign a task that familiarizes students with the practice of academic annotation. Highlight for students specific content on a web page and add a note explaining thoughts or pointing to additional resources. Tell students to highlight text or images, add their own comments, and share those annotations with fellow students.
