Welcome to Hypothesis, Educators!
Teachers have known the value of having students annotate texts for a long time. It’s a natural progression to annotate text online. What I like about Hypothes.is is the ability for my students and I to annotate the open web and share our thoughts with anybody.
– Chris Sloan, English teacher, Judge Memorial Catholic High School
