Miss Reed's Adobe Notation Tools

Miss Reed is having the students read and annotate on documents digitally.  She attached a PDF to Edmodo, the students downloaded it and used the notation tools through Adobe and the PDF previewer to annotate using the highlighting tool, boxes, circles, text bubbles and different colors.  You could easily make a "key" for the students and have certain colors/shapes/underline represent certain ideas, etc. Great way to save paper and not having to make a copy for every student and of course the students love it!

Mrs. Bisoni-Lais's 3rd Google Drive

Mrs. Bisoni-Lais's 3rd graders researching their continents in Google Drive.  Peer editing by sharing the document with one another is a great way to save each other from missing points!  I loved how enthusiastic the kids were about being able to research directly within their Google Doc by using the research tool as well as drag in pictures. They also loved sharing their documents with one another for editing as well as being able to work from home!
