| Annotation: | In this article, the authors discuss “open pedagogy” and how it can contribute to the success of both students and teachers in a college classroom. Open pedagogies can give students more power in shaping their own learning, but can also lead to inequity in the classroom for marginalized students. One tool to reduce this inequity is social annotation or, “the use of collaborative technologies to help students draw meaningful connections to texts in-line alongside their peers, practice the strategies of academic writing in-context.” The authors provide several strategies for using social annotation to improve the classroom while also weighing its pros and cons. |
