Why will you love Annotate for Microsoft Word PRO? Annotate for Microsoft Word PRO makes it easy to give detailed feedback to students in core writing areas - by simply clicking! The comments are extremely visible to students, but they don't interrupt the flow of their writing. And of course you already know how to use Microsoft Word, so the learning curve is very short. Version 2 of Annotate, available on for Word 2007, brings full customization of plain-text buttons and content to the game...

No software to learn, just a simple tool that works with software you already know how to use. Find out more: Reviews:"Annotate is great. We should talk about buying it for the department. Go to 11trees.com and download it for free.
Try it and then we can talk. That is a great tool for both English and History. If they could make Spanish and French versions, that would be great. The feedback is great. It even has a direct link to a website with tips on how to write papers." "I love this program, and here's why:
Like most high school English teachers, I spend a hefty chunk of my life grading essays- which means I spend hours reading, scribbling copious notes in the margins which are indecipherable after the fifth paper, and then passing papers back to students in the hopes that they will revise them. Frequently the papers are given little thought, and then thrown into the trash when no one is looking.
Processing and grading papers electronically instead means clearer comments for students, no paper transportation or costs (or paper cuts!), no lost papers under my couch, and better student participation in the writing process. (Besides, there's always another copy if you need it )Parents are much more likely to see student work if it arrives in their email account as well.
So why this program? I've used electronic annotation programs before, and have been frustrated with the confusing organization, and the overemphasis on proofreading symbols that students don't respond to. Annotate for Word easily integrates right into Word (it shows up on the menu ribbon like magic!) It comes with comments that are easy to find, meaningful,constructive, and that already include links to on-line resources that students can go to right away for help with a particular skill issue. It is user-friendly with the first paper. I find that I have been getting papers returned more quickly using Annotate, and students like turning in and receiving annotated papers online.
Anything that streamlines the homework process and helps students learn has got my vote, and Annotate for Word definitely does both." |
