Highlighters   

There are yellow, blue, green, and pink highlighters that students can use to highlight important information. Highlighted information can be extracted under the file menu and you can create  vocabulary lists etc.

Highlighter Eraser

The eraser will erase any highlighting that you have all ready done. 

Sticky Note 

Add a yellow, easy to see note.  The note can be added by the teacher or the student. As you type in the sticky note it will read it to you. The note can be moved around and placed anywhere on the document.

Text note

Add a note, similar to the sticky note but it is not highlighted. This too can be moved around the document and placed wherever you like.

Footnote 

 The footnote allows you to leave a long note that is hidden until you double click on the number that is placed in the appropriate place in the text.  This can be extra information, instructions etc.

Delete

This button allows you to delete any notes that you have previously made.

Voice Button

The teacher or student can leave a voice note. You need to have a microphone and the student/teacher can listen to the note. The note is shown with the image of a small speaker.

Column Notes

Hitting the column notes button will automatically create a table with 3 columns: main idea, supporting ideas and other. Students can then drag text into the appropriate box. You can then save these notes. The columns can be renamed. This allows students to organize the   information in a useful way.

Hyperlink

This tool will allow you to add a hyperlink  to the text. This can take the student to additional information on the topic.

Bookmark

 Bookmarks allow a user to mark places in scanned or typed documents in order to return at a later time. Once bookmarks have been created you can click on the bookmark button and it will take you to a list and you can choose the appropriate bookmark.

Note Snippets

A Note Snippet is a floating window that displays the contents of a Column Notes file in read-only

mode, and in hierarchical format.
