Feature iconMy Annotations

My Annotations lets students mark important text in color on any webpage or document, and stores what they marked in My Vocab.

Overview

What this Feature Does

My Annotations lets students mark important text in color on any webpage or document. Those annotations are stored in My Vocab, so a student can return to something they worked on earlier and see exactly what they marked.

Four of the annotation colors carry editable labels, so a teacher or class can name them for specific reading strategies. Two colors are fixed: blue, labeled for vocabulary, and white, for clearing existing annotations.
