Skitch is a screen-capturing and editing tool. Skitch makes it easy to capture screenshots and annotate them (or any other image). An existing image can be used or a new picture can be captured and uploaded to Skitch. The image can be drawn on, written on, have shapes added, annotated, and saved.
​
Annotated images can be saved to the Pictures folder or Evernote account. Skitch notes can be shared using any of these options: Email, Twitter, Facebook, or URL.

Educational uses:

• Visually communicating ideas
• Sharing feedback
• Collaborating with peers
