Where do I find it?
For our purposes, Skitch is an iPad app.
What is it?
Skitch allows you to annotate over any image. There are tools for typing, drawing, and highlighting, as well as shapes, stickers, and an option to blur. You can insert photos, images, maps, websites, or PDFs. There is also an option to draw, which essentially offers a blank white screen.
How can I use it in my classroom?
Take a picture of something that needs to be labeled. Insert a reading passage for a close read. Take pictures of buildings or objects and trace/label/measure the angles. Insert a website and highlight information for research purposes. Use the white background as whiteboards for a quick formative assessment.
