I think that the most valuable part of digital annotation is to allow students to make the text jump out at them. We often think that the important quotes, main ideas, and key themes are obvious when we give a text to students, but that is not often the case. Through digital annotation, even more than with physical annotation, students can customize how the text looks with colors, highlights, drawings, images, GIFs, audio recordings, hyperlinks, etc. to really allow them to see the text as a living, breathing thing that they can read and respond to.

I think it is a great where to show connections as they are being developed- buy themselves and of those around them.

It is a great way to learn from your peers and see their understanding of the text. If at first you do not understand a text, maybe another student's annotation may help you in thinking about it. I also loved Sofia's point about the comfort level of our students today and how they are often more comfortable behind a screen and more willing to participate and actually engage successfully with the work.

Gives our quieter, more shy students a space where they feel free to interact with a text genuinely, without the pressure of 'sounding right'. (more authentic representation of their understanding and skill level/engagement)

One thing I like is the convenience and the ease with which students can access the materials. I also like that it is a modality (most) students feel very comfortable using. It can support comprehension by allowing students to write or say more about a text and allow for more ways to collaborate.
