Trekking Across the Margins: Online Collaborative Annotation for Teaching and Learning

Reading is often an isolated undertaking, but a text’s margins are an invitation to exploration and the co-construction of knowledge. Online collaborative annotation encourages teachers and students to lace up their boots and head for the margins to examine, question and understand a text together. Join me to discuss useful tools and compelling applications of online collaborative annotation, including reading a peer-reviewed research article, reflecting on reading strategies, and responding to pop songs from a character’s point of view.
