Kami: Annotation, Collaboration & Integration, Oh my!

So what is Kami?

In short, it's an online PDF, Doc or image annotation & manipulation tool. You can make Kami assignments by using (or altering) one from the Kami library or making one from scratch. With Kami, students can:

Highlight, underline & strikethrough
Add text (even through voice typing)
Have things read to them with text-to-speech
Attach shapes, images & video
Collaborate virtually

With Kami you can:

See your students work in real-time, giving live and meaningful feedback & supervising them to stay on task
Help struggling students
Give students a paper copy of something and have them work on it without you digitzing
Create a dynamic assignment out of a static image using OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
Create something in Canva and then share directly to students to manipulate
Conquer PDF manipulation once & for all
Host a digital whiteboard that student groups can use to collaborate in person or virtually
Split or rearrange the order of a multi-page PDF
Use a digital notebook with studentsGive students a static resource, but still allow them to annotate and add content that gives the assignment more meaning
