Skitch

Skitch is an app in which teachers can make annotations on worksheets, reading assignments, and other documents in order to draw their students' attention to the important parts of the assignment.

In the example below, the teacher was able to show the assignment to her students marking the importance of remembering to write their name on their paper as well showing the students where to write their thinking.

In a Kindergarten classroom, Skitch could be used in a variety of ways when modeling how to fill in a worksheet.  Teachers could also use Skitch when presenting data during their PLC be highlighting areas of growth or targeting areas in  need of attention.
