Annotate PDFs with Snap & Read

Image result for snap and read
Snap & Read just added a new feature - PDF annotation. Are you familiar with Kami? The Snap & Read annotation feature is similar. It is free with unlimited use for all Walled Lake Consolidated Schools students and staff and it works with Google Drive. 

This can come in handy for students to write responses directly on PDFs and  highlight important phrases. 

How do you use it? See written instructions and/or the video below. 


Step 1: If you haven’t already done so, install Snap & Read from the Chrome store. Accept the user agreement and then sign in with your WL Google Account.


Step 2: Go to Google Drive.


Step 3: Click on the Snap & Read extension (it will turn blue when active and the black toolbar will appear on the right).


Step 4: Click on the research button at the bottom of the toolbar.


Step 5: Click the three dots in the upper right corner.


Step 6: Open PDF from > Google Drive (or “My Device,” depending on where it is).


Step 7: Now you are ready to write on it. To do so, click the pencil in the upper left corner.  The buttons to write or highlight will appear.


Step 8: When finished, SAVE!
