Before I watched Dr. Remi Kalir’s video on social annotation I didn’t even have a good idea of what that meant. When I thought of annotation, I would only think of it in a sort of note taking context. Whether it be a sticky note of a quick definition or an arrow leading to a synonym for ease of understanding. I suppose I never thought of it being used in other cases outside of learning environments. I really like how a point in the video was to discussed annotation in a protesting context. Protest and annotation have a lot of cross over. Dr. Remi Kalir brings up the point that annotation is counternarrative which is precisely what protest is. They both challenge the commonly accepted narrative by adding perspective. I can also think in aspects of my life how I add annotation to conversations with friends and family without even realizing. When I talk, I like to use analogies often and draw correlation to a previous talking points. It’s pretty neat to think about the different ways annotation actually shows up and impactful it is.
