This program offers many things on the free version that are very helpful for students and teachers such as the ability to write on PDF documents, annotate on PDF documents, and add images (such as stickers) to student's writing on a PDF. My district purchased a similar program - Snap and Read which is much easier for students and since my district purchased it, my students and I can use it. I use it for my MS Word assessments but the kids use it the same way they would paper and pencil.Ĭommentaires : While I really liked the features of Kami, the item I wanted most - the ability to add images, is only available on the paid version, and I can not afford that on my meager salary. There is currently no assessment mode but they're working on it to be released this year. I can also insert Youtube videos that they can watch while on the same document and take notes or answer questions. I can watch them work in real time and see who contributes in their group. Kids can use these features, too, so they can explain and describe using the video or audio comment features, or show me how they work out a problem with the screen capture tool. Kami does this (and also integrates with PowerPoint, photos, Google slides and docs, and diagrams) but so much more! I can include audio, video, and screen capture comments to provide more direction for tasks and 1-1 feedback to students. Because most of my materials are either Word documents or pdfs, I needed something that would maintain the integrity of the formatting when I pushed out to students to annotate on. Not only is Kami a game changer, it is the most valuable teaching tool I've encountered in 29 years of teaching.Īs a science teacher, I use a lot of diagrams. When we return to normal, I will still be going almost completely paperless.

The writing tools are difficult for students who don't have pen tablets.BUT, they can upload photos of their work so that sort of makes up for that.the problem is teaching them how to do this.Ĭommentaires : Kami has been a lifesaver during virtual instruction, I honestly don't know how I could've survived without it. I honestly only thing at this time the one feature I would love to have is the inclusion of measuring tools: protractor, compass, ruler. This means that students can open a pdf and have the text to speech work for them. You can handwrite, draw, annotate, underline, high light, choose colors, line thicknesses etc.Īs a math teacher.shapes are there! So is an equation feature.Īlmost forgot (as I'm just new to this one now) is that pdf's can be opened with OCR. No need to argue with them about what they submitted as I can find it by searching the drive with their name or by searching Kami Uploads.

works with Google Drive.a huge plus as all my work can be found as well as MY STUDENTS work.

my favorite these days as I prepare for the coming school year is the Split and Merge Tool! (I can now take pdfs and break them eat if they have answer keys or too many pages to be assigned at once). text to speech for those who need reading help There are so many other terrific features as well: It is evident that students gain more from hearing their teacher rather than just typing. I really like that you can voice your corrections/responses/suggestions rather than constantly typing (voice annotation).

I am leaning towards YES.my school doesn't pay for this so it must come from my pocket.

At this very moment I have been seriously contemplating whether I was to invest the $100 to have all the features for the year. Commentaires : I have promoted Kami to my school for the past several years now.
