Yesterday I used the document camera to ahve the kids share their annotations. For homework they had to do a close re-reading of 5 pages of their choice in Night. I had a volunteer start the discussion and then kids jumped up and added their comments with their own notes on the SmartBoard.
Problems to work out:
1) time to capture the pages--there must be a better way than the way I'm doing it--but I did have the kids re-read the passage that would be discussed while I captured the picture and saved it in the scratch pad--made them more prepared to discuss annotations
2) still working on how to get them into Smart Notebook pages--kids couldn't highlight and the 4 color pens on my Smart Board all kind look the same
3) pencil doesn't show up well. . . need to play with the settings to figure that out
Will be able to post these on website (upcoming. . . one day) so kids can see how others annotate their texts.
