EducationTeaching Materials & Planning3MediumTeacher$ implied
Teacher needs a way for students to annotate shared class novels without later classes seeing previous students' annotations, which can lead to copying and shortcuts.
Physical books can be annotated but annotations are visible to subsequent classes; post-its and notebooks are messy or undefined.

App Concept
ClassSet Annotate
A digital annotation overlay for shared texts that gives each class period a private layer, so students can annotate a digital copy of the novel and see only their own and classmates' annotations from their period. Teachers can review and grade annotations, track participation, and prevent cross-class copying.
Key Features
- Period-specific annotation layers so annotations are visible only to that class section
- Digital text version of the novel with highlight, note, and comment tools
- Teacher dashboard to view annotations by student, period, or date
- Export and print annotations for portfolios or review
Target Users: HS English teachers with shared book sets across multiple class periods
Revenue Model: Freemium with premium school subscription at $50/year per teacher or $500/year per school
