Getting Students to Do the Reading: Social Annotation Promotes Accountability and Critical Reading Habits
Annotating a text can promote critical thinking and help students stay engaged as they read. Social annotation platforms like Perusall take this process and add an interesting wrinkle: students can see and respond to their peers’ questions and comments as they read, making it possible for them work together to annotate as a class. This workshop explores the benefits of making annotation a social process and offers practical strategies for using it in your courses.
