Instruction on helping students annotate documents using Kami (free version)

Written by Lori Blantz | Sep 9, 2020 11:15:00 AM

This week Giovanna and I are focusing on teaching staff how students can annotate on PDFs. Yesterday our teaching was focused on students using iPads to annotate on PDFs and submit back to the teacher. Today I am focusing on students using Chromebooks. There is a instructional tool called Kami. There is a free version that we are going to be discussing. Teachers can get a Pro version for a free trial, but we are not recommending that so it does not confuse you students once the Pro version expires. Giovanna and I created a document with links to our video recordings on:

1. How teachers create an assignment using Kami in both Schoology and Google Classroom.

2. How students complete the assignment using Kami.

3. How teacher grades and views the completed assignment.

Here is the link to our document: How to use Kami (Free Version)
