not a magic bullet to transform learning, but a valuable tool if effectivelyintegrated into instruction.
True, many teachers I know are afraid of using new tools because they think it will change their whole teaching style to which they got used to and feel comfortable with.

See Figure 3
This example of using annotation could be adapted during reading lessons. Students can read a question annotated by the teacher and look for an answer around the annotated/highlighted part of the text; either in prior or following sentences.

Linguistic affordances of digital collaborative readingpractices were helpful for skills in areas such as reading, vocabulary, grammar, and writing(Solmaz, 2021)
Sounds like social annotation can be a powerful tool when doing guided discovery grammar introductions. Pity students at my school can't use laptops/tablets during lessons though.

a relaxed pedagogical setting suitable for educational risktaking (Solmaz, 2021
Good stuff. Risk taking is part of learning right? What was that theory called? Productive Failure?
-
Social annotation improves learning by supporting self-regulation, increasing engagement,providing scaffolding for improved reading comprehension, and promoting deep thinking.
Does this also mean that any social activity helps with the outlined skills/facets? E.g. does running pairwork activities in lessons increase self-regulation?
-
But as we know, learning – and especially language learning – is morepowerful when it is social
This is good stuff, may use it for my academic poster in unit 10.

However, reading in undergraduateclasses is often a solitary activity, done (or perhaps more often not done) prior to class. Ifstudents have not actively engaged with the reading materials prior to class time, the ensuingsynchronous class time discussion can be unproductive, with the instructor forced to lecture onmaterial that should have been learned prior to class or skip the planned content.
Social annotation has also ties to flipped learning?
-
We know that students benefit from social learning: collaboration can help students process andunderstand new information, see different perspectives, and create a community of learners.
Looks like social annotation has a lot to do with connectivism. I wonder if in old times reading an annotated book was a primitive example of connectivist learning?
