Teaching & Learning
This article highlights ed tech apps that could help aid in the instruction of writing in all classrooms- not just ELA.
The app that stood out to me as the most exciting was Annotate PRO which is available in the Google Chrome App Store for free. This allows you to access a library of pre-written comments that can be added to Google Docs for editing, revisions, feedback, etc. Rather than writing the same comment on 75 essays, you have a store of frequently needed revision suggestions and you can even include links to YouTube videos or other resources that could explain the revision more fully.
Check out the video below for a more clear picture of how this works!
