We went over the annotating tools and spent a solid two days just exploring. □īefore jumping into digital texts, I spent some time introducing the students to the app itself. #Skitch app how to#Eventually, I will show them how to take screenshots, upload files, and access shared assignments from Dropbox, but for now… simple is better. ![]() Personally, I found it easier to start with the camera feature, even if their images were sometimes extremely blurry, cut-off, and not-so-fabulous.

Really, the possibilities are limitless, and I have more ideas for integration than I know what to do with! (See some of these ideas below.)
