Use this tool to teach your students to identify the important ideas in a lesson. Have your students highlight what they think are the main ideas in a lesson, and then have them turn on the "Main Ideas" feature provided by TCI, to compare and learn.
The color palette helps you keep your highlighting organized: for example, vocabulary words can be highlighted in one color with key details in another.
