Conversation via annotations in NowComment |
Baron cites a study from late 2013 whose findings show that 84% of U.S. college students say they prefer print over digital text because it’s easier to bookmark and highlight. Baron readily admits this may change with time: “Annotation becomes easier on digital devices, especially for those who practice” (p. 30).
There’s no doubt that our students will get a lot more practice annotating online. In fact, annotating the Web is nothing new. The developers of Mosaic, one of the earliest browsers from the ’90s, envisioned a Web that anyone could annotate. And there’s no shortage of web annotation tools—Bounce, Diigo, and Genius, to name a few.

But over the past couple of years the two annotation tools that I've used most in my teaching areNowComment and Hypothes.is.
I use NowComment most frequently now. Here's an article I wrote that discusses NowComment's affordances and constraints.
And here's another article I wrote about Hypothes.is.
