Tech Tool of the Week: Insert Learning is a Chrome extension that allows you to annotate and add content and/or questions to ANY web page, effectively turning that web page into an interactive guided reading with checks for understanding and reports on participation and accuracy. Once added, Insert Learning has four basic commands (plus a series of more advanced options) highlight, add questions, discussions or “sticky notes” that can accommodate links or videos that will appear directly on the web page. Once assigned through Google classroom or a link, IL will generate a report on student participation and responses. Students will also have to add the extension.
