Cristal, nice overview of the Skitch app. Can you save the pages, or make them available as PDFs or video files in order to share with students? I did my App Slam on an app called Notability and it seems very similar to Skitch. I use Notability for all my math lessons and my students love it, as do their parents, because I can save the files as either PDFs or video and upload the lessons to our classroom website, which helps them with homework. You might also look at Sara Chai's App Slam, as she used another similar app called Explain Everything. I downloaded this app, though have not had the time to really see how I could use it instead of Notability. The same company that made Explain Everything has another app called Final Argument, which is another cool app that has some interesting capabilities. I'll have to look more into the Skitch app and see which of these best serves my classroom objectives. Thanks for the video!

Cristal- Great app! (and I love that you are familiar with Haiku, as my school uses it too). As an online and blended teacher I need some tools like Skitch to help me illustrate things to students when they ask me questions from home. I usually use the Chrome Extension called Awesome Screenshot, which allows me to take a screenshot and annotate either with text, boxes, or arrows, etc. So I guess it is similar. But it love having many options to choose from. Even more fun is when my students send me screenshots with arrows, etc. as they try to illustrate their questions for me. Success!! :)
