Digital Learning and Inquiry - MIIS

Join us in person or remotely for a workshop exploring collaborative web annotation as a core digital pedagogical practice in the 21st century classroom. We will link up via Zoom web conferencing with workshop facilitator, Jeremy Dean, the education outreach director for Hypothes.is, an open source web annotation platform. This emergent technology enables everyday Internet users to comment on or publicly discuss any web page. It can be applied in education to teach students traditional literacy skills and newer forms of digital literacy.
