How to use an iPad to add voice comments to grading

The app they’re using is called iAnnotate PDF, which, well, is an annotation app for PDFs. I normally wouldn’t recommend an app that costs $10 [foreshadowing], but in this case it’s absolutely worth every penny. Imagine having students submit work via a Dropbox folder, then annotating and sending it back to them via email. Simple, paperless, and stronger feedback than simply writing.

LJ Digital: This is really handy. My biggest problem with iPads and ereaders in general is that it is difficult for me to annotate. It’s typically possible but it’s never as quick as just jotting a few notes in the margin of a print book. The voice notes and zoom-in features are definitely helpful. I’m slowly losing my vision. I’m being swayed. What do you think?
