Skitch application
It is then possible to annotate the map of the area with details of what teens see and/or learn at the location. If teens have a device with them on a field trip they can use the map option to locate themselves on a map right in the Skitch app.

Anyone developing a handout that provides step-by-step directions on how to download ebooks from the library, for example, can use annotated images created right on the device for which they are providing instructions. Teachers, librarians, and teens that create how-to handouts can integrate annotated Skitch screenshots into those documents.Teens can comment on photos that they take with a device and which they might add to a homework project, use as a tool for creating a visual outline for a project, or use in a storyboard for a video on which they are working. Skitch makes it easy to add notes and comments to photos.For visual learners being able to point out with arrows and boxes results of interest and write notes on the actual results list screen could prove very useful.

Skitch application update#
Perhaps in an update that will be possible. In this version of Skitch on the iPad it isn’t possible to select a font family or font-size, which would be useful. Text can also be edited in the same way, tap and hold and an edit command pops up on the screen. For example, if you place an arrow on an image and decide it’s not in the right place, by tapping and holding on the arrow it’s possible to move it to another location. Once an annotation is added to a diagram it’s possible to tap it and make a change. It’s also possible to use different colors in annotations (the color palette is pretty limited however) and highlighting content using different shapes – square, circle, and freehand. These include drawing, text, and cropping tools. Once the screenshot type is selected users can start annotating using the built in Skitch tools. Options include annotating photos from the device camera roll or photos taken within Skitch using the device camera, web pages, and maps.
Once Skitch is installed all a user needs to do is select from the screenshot options to begin working with an image. Last week when I learned that there was now a Skitch iPad app I thought, “That’s going to be interesting.” Then when I tried it out I thought, “This is really useful.”
It’s a great software that makes it easy to take and annotate screenshots. I’ve used the Skitch program on my MAC for several years. Platform: iOS 5 or later, Android 1.6 and up
