Can I try out annotations? How can I model annotations for my students?

Teachers can test out annotations on both desktop and touchscreen devices by going to any text page. However, unlike student annotations on assignments, annotations do not save for teachers. When they leave or refresh a page, their annotations will disappear.

To get started, go to a text page and select any portion of the text with your cursor. It will pull up our annotation options. If using a touchscreen device,  go to an assignment and use your finger to press and drag the cursor to select the text.

Touchscreen Devices:

To highlight the selected text, hover over the highlighter icon and click on one of our six colors. If using a touchscreen device, simply tap on one of our six colors on the annotation tool.
