District 30 NYSIP Grant: Learner Centered Initiatives
Join the conversations on the documents in this library, where we:
- Make our classrooms visible to each other
- Build a community of peers within our schools and across the entire district
- Share and discuss the invitations for learning we provide our students
- Comment on samples of our students' work from all disciplines
- Collect and discuss slideshows from webinars, articles, videos, and images for each other that support our work with students
NowComment makes it easy to have rich, engaging discussions of online documents no matter how large (or small) your class or collaboration group.
- NowComment is fast, powerful, and feature-rich: you can sort comments, skim summaries, create assignments, hide comments, reply privately, and much more
- It's free, a project managed by Paul Allison, a consultant for the NYC Writing Project and the NWP. Take 60 seconds to get an account now!

Free Accounts
Public and invitation-only private documents are both free during our "open beta".
Time Efficient
Interesting comments can be found quickly (they're tied to relevant document passages), and summary lines make skimming fast and easy.
Powerful
Each sentence and paragraph can have concurrent conversations, keeping discussions focused and on-topic.
Simple to Use
Our interface is intuitive, your documents are accessible wherever you are, and we handle all the configuration/maintenance.
Feature-Rich and Scalable
NowComment has the features to handle very large groups: moderation, subgroups, tagging, and more.

By default comments are off to the sid, but you can also display them in-line, or hide them, or sort them multiple ways.
