Annotate Shared Screen

While in Screen Share mode, instructors are able to Annotate the score by adding shapes, text, and other visual effects. This could be used to move “pieces” around during a board game, add written information to an image or a PDF as it is elicited from students, etc.

1. During a meeting, click “Screen Share” on the bottom toolbar and select the document or window that you wish to share and annotate.

2. Hover the cursor over the green bar at the top.

3. Click “Annotate”.

4. Choose from the various options to add visual effects to your shared screen. . .

For example, instructors can add one or more of six simple shapes with “Stamp” (stars), add other shapes or draw lines using “Draw” (red lines), seen below. “Text” and “Spotlight” are also useful tools in adding information to a shred screen.

The Annotate function gives instructors possibilities beyond sharing a static image or an existing video. They can make simple, custom additions as they see appropriate. Tips on more involved ways to manipulate images interactively with students are on the way!
