How might social annotation fit into your course? For what pur-poses might you begin conversations in the margins of the textsyou read with your class?
When in Rome do as the romans do! Let discussion flow, allow critical thinking to fill the mind. Social annotations are a great way to allow mingling of thoughts and ideas amongst introverts and extroverts alike! As was stated earlier learn is social.
Describe your workflow for reading and annotating this chapter.What worked well? What might you change to be more strategic?
I started by reading everything then re-reading it once more and began annotating what I felt could do with some clarification. This strategy worked well for me because I felt I could absorb the information presented. I would change the fact I did not at least highlight what it is I wanted to annotate.
What hashtags would you create to summarize the major themes inthis chapter? How would you categorize them?
How would youannotate differently for the two audiences?
It depends on the audience(s). Some may prefer to arrive at the answer themselves and do not know how or even what kind of question they need to ask to get to their answer. Then there are some who prefer to have clarified, plain answers so minimal thinking is involved, and they may continue on to the next annotation or continue reading the text.
When might you choose to share annotations with your class andwhen might you make your annotations public?
In any attempt to share my annotations is the effort to clarify something or to remove any confusion. I would share my annotations with my class at the same time as I would with public because I was able to simplify or add enough context to remove any misunderstandings.
What experiences have you had with paper, digital, and socialannotation?
My experience is fairly limited as far as annotation goes, the last thing I can remember annotating was paper on Nikola Tesla and that was pen and paper approx. 12 years ago my memory is spotty at best, and I won't say liked it, but I did not dislike it.
