Annotating fieldwork images with Skitch

Field investigation is an important part of your GCSE geography course. Annotations and graphics highlighting essential choices are of real value in completing a piece of coursework. This app provides an easy way to annotate images

Download and install the free app by Evernote known as Skitch. This is an annotation app that places a graphic layer on top of images such as photographs. It is more easily operated on a tablet or PC than mobile phone, but is accessible on most devices, though the layout of the icons may vary slightly. You may wish to allow access to saved images to use as your starting point.

Consider annotating an image of a map showing the location of your study site in order to justify its choice and appropriateness for data collection. Take a photo image of an actual map, handdrawn sketch map, or an electronic map. (You can access online Ordance Survey maps at scales of 1:50,000 and 1: 25,000 on Bing Maps UK if you select ‘Ordnance Survey’ from the menu bar.)
