Additionally, teachers can input feedback ahead of time so students receive it during the lesson. For many students, receiving visual and written validation of their work and effort can make all the difference when learning new content.

This tool elevates the annotation process to a collaborative activity where students can see how many of their peers may be noticing the same details, what information is not being addressed, and how their own notes differ from their peers’. For teachers, this tool allows them to view where students have focused most of their attention and how students have chosen to share their observations.

Not only does this tool support core classes, but there are a variety of skills for each class that would allow teachers to work with small groups of students at a time. While one group of students may be using Khan Academy to sharpen their editing skills, other students may work with the teacher reviewing material from Moby Max.
