The hypothes.is education team and the University of Colorado Denver School of Education and Human Development are teaming up to host a Summer Teacher Institute to introduce educators to the pedagogy of open web annotation.
Marginal note-taking in books is an age-old learning practice that needs little pedagogical justification. Digital annotation of online text updates this traditional literacy skill by making it social and multimodal. While many teachers are already using collaborative annotation tools in their classrooms, we hope that this institute will expand that community and further the conversation about why and how this emergent technology can be leveraged for a range of learning goals.
We invite high school and university educators from all fields to join us for a day-long workshop on using collaborative annotation in the classroom. Practicing educators will share their experiments with web annotation technology, and participants will gain hands-on experience with the free hypothes.is annotation tool and leave with concrete ideas for implementation in their own courses.
Breakfast and lunch provided. Happy hour to follow.
Register today. Enrollment is limited.
K-12 teachers can receive continuing education credit (CEUs) for their participation from CU Denver.

We think simple tools can help us all improve the quality of information on the Internet and in the greater world around us.
Our team is building an open platform for discussion on the web. It leverages annotation to enable sentence-level critique or note-taking on top of news, blogs, scientific articles, books, terms of service, ballot initiatives, legislation and more. Everything we build is guided by our principles. In particular that it be free, open, non-profit, neutral and lasting to name a few.
We create software, push for standards, and foster community.
