IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Our school district uses Kami to help digitize documents for better sharing of records, and annotating documents that we give to our students. Personally, I use Kami as a digital back-up for all worksheets that I give to my classes to help reduce paper usage, and to be better able to track student performance for assignments.
Pros
- Kami does a great job at helping you reshape pdfs and share documents from different formats.
- I like being able to give all of my students a copy of a document, and having Kami organize each student's work product in real-time.
- I like being able to annotate directly on a student's work so that they can receive feedback in real-time.
- I like being able to merge, cut, and edit documents quickly.
Cons
- When I am multitasking on multiple screens, there are times when I am trying to scroll with my stylus and I end up writing on the document.
- When Kami creates folders and organization, there seems to be almost too much redundancy. The same file seems to be in multiple places. I don't know if that is a Kami problem or a me problem, but I'll probably start trying to clean things up a little soon.
- I think that the tool restriction for students method could be improved.
Likelihood to Recommend
When dealing with absent students, and giving them classroom material, Kami is great. I never make extra copies of worksheets anymore. If a student needs/wants a second one, they can get it digitally from me.
Additionally, being able to track the feedback that I give to students is a real plus.
