In this almost abstract time of forced distance education, those of us who have used Schoology with iPads are realizing that everything needs to be re-evaluated. Students are using everything from a Kindle Fire to iMac to a smartphone to do their work.
There are going to be times when students need to annotate on a PDF and submit the answers and to make it that much easier for the students and families I have made this reference by device type.
- Using a Mac. Mac’s have a built in PDF annotator and you would then save as an then upload the assignment.
- Personal iPad– On a personal ipad, a screenshot of the pdf can be taken and you can annotate in Photos with various pens and pencils of different thicknesses. Many free apps available. Search PDF + Annotate
- Chromebook. Chrome extension Kami is available free download Kami
- Windows device– There is a PDF Reader (xodo) available to download from the Microsoft store. If this does not work, a second option is web based pdf annotator, PDF Annotate . https://www.xodo.com/
