Teachers have the ability to highlight information, add notes, and embed Printables and Media (images, videos, and audio) when in Teacher Resources. This allows them to easily reference and review key information from the content and add it to a lesson plan. Notes and highlights are unique to a publication and will carry over to each classroom that has access to that publication within the user’s account.
Note
Notes and highlights can only be seen by the user who created them and will be saved to use year after year.
