AASL Recommended App: Skitch

skitchThe American Association of School Librarians (AASL) issues their 25 Best Apps for Teaching & Learning each year. The apps were chosen because they foster innovation, creativity, active participation, and collaboration.

This week we highlight Skitch, an app that “helps you communicate visually with friends, co-workers, and the world.” Taking images, you can have students label or markup them. Adding text, highlights, blur, arrows, or stickers are easy for anyone!

The app is now only available for Mac downloads – read this article for more information on the change and find out how to download the app.
