Various tips come from a Stenhouse newsletter to my mailbox. You might want to get it too. www.//newsletter@stenhouse.com
Anyway, I thought you might be interested in this annotating tool. I have not tried it yet but I think we could use this ourselves as well as introducing it to students, especially the Strategic Reading Study Skill students with access to computers. It would make a wonderful 21st Century application to our Close Reading process where we usually annotate text with paper and pencil.
Markup http://markup.io/
Show students how to annotate as they read Web text. Markup lets you draw on any web page Drag the drawing tools to your book marks bar and you're set. No cost. Nothing to download and install. On the Markup webpage, all you have to do to get Markup on your computer is click on the icon and add to your favorites. When you make notes on a webpage, click the bookbarlet to load the Markup toolbar.
For those of you who are interested in trying it, please share your thoughts with others.
