Kami is The One App We Won't Go Without

As a technology TOSA and digital tools coach for the district, I've loved working with Kami. It's the means by which we collaborate, deliver much of our district PD, and engage a variety of audiences. Additionally, I've had the pleasure of working with many of Kami's executives, account managers, and trainers. Everyone has been a gem! Their availability, direction, ongoing training, and responsiveness have been an ongoing gift.

PROS

I love Kami's accessibility features! Students can now engage with their lessons with text, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, video, audio, or screencasts to demonstrate and showcase their learning and collaborate with peers. How amazing to have ONE tool that levels the playing field and provides scaffolds and differentiation tools for ALL students?! Moreover, it meets the diverse needs of our student body through language tools such as a multilingual dictionary, a robust list of voices and languages for the Read Aloud tool, and translatable menus and features. Our Student Services team, as well as our Dual Language Programs, could not do the work of meeting student needs or IEPs as well or efficiently without Kami.

CONS

I suppose if I had to find anything to like least about Kami, it would be having fewer resources in the Kami Library aimed at secondary levels.

Reason for choosing Kami

We chose Kami for its unique and robust tools: mainly its wide variety of tools in the PDF annotator, Split & Merge tool, and its diverse language options for our district.

Kami

I love working with Kami. It is a life saver for remote instruction and assessment.

PROS

What I love most about Kami is being able to do real time work and assessment with my students. The edit and drawing functions are great for math.

CONS

Sometimes the system lags and work written down disappears but this isn't a common problem. It might be an internet problem on my end.

Reasons for switching to Kami

Kami has way more options like being able to draw.

Kami for Virtual Learning

PROS

I love how much you are able to edit Kami and how easy it is to use. We have a variety of in-person and remote students. They need to be able to access the same content no matter where they are. Kami helps make this possible. Our program is also completely online, so being able to edit documents and use other tools (dictionary/pictures/etc.) is very helpful and engaging.

CONS

I don't have anything I don't like about Kami right now.

Kami Features

Overall experience is good, I like the features and how the Kami extension allows to easily load documents that you want to edit into Kami.

PROS

Saves documents online instead of on device, can annotate and there are many colors

CONS

Saving changes are not always reliable, sometimes annotations don't sync or save, and you have to redo them.

Accessible education for all students no matter where they are

I have promoted Kami to my school for the past several years now. At this very moment I have been seriously contemplating whether I was to invest the $100 to have all the features for the year. I am leaning towards YES....my school doesn't pay for this so it must come from my pocket. My school only uses the free version.

PROS

I really like that you can voice your corrections/responses/suggestions rather than constantly typing (voice annotation). It is evident that students gain more from hearing their teacher rather than just typing. There are so many other terrific features as well: - text to speech for those who need reading help - 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 apart...great if they have answer keys or too many pages to be assigned at once). - works with Google Drive...a huge plus as all my work can be found as well as MY STUDENTS work. 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. - You can handwrite, draw, annotate, underline, high light, choose colors, line thicknesses etc. As a math teacher....shapes are there! So is an equation feature. Almost forgot (as I'm just new to this one now) is that pdf's can be opened with OCR. This means that students can open a pdf and have the text to speech work for them.

CONS

I honestly only thing at this time the one feature I would love to have is the inclusion of measuring tools: protractor, compass, ruler. 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.
