Kami's toolbar is your gateway to a dynamic digital learning experience. It is equipped with a range of tools to annotate and enrich documents, including highlighting text, accessing an instant dictionary, and enabling text-to-speech for improved comprehension and accessibility. You can also add comments, draw and create shapes, insert mathematical equations, dictate thoughts with voice typing, and enhance understanding by incorporating images and videos. Beyond the toolbar, Kami offers valuable features like Split & Merge for document organization, Class View for real-time progress monitoring, and easy assignment Turn-in. Teachers can provide detailed feedback directly on student work, and multiple users can collaborate on the same document simultaneously. Integration with Google Classroom and other platforms ensures seamless incorporation into your workflow.
Furthermore, Kami's AI capabilities elevate the learning experience. Automatic text summarization helps distill key points from lengthy texts, while question generation prompts deeper thinking and engagement. The Read Aloud feature converts text to speech with natural-sounding voices and customizable settings, further enhancing accessibility.
Accessing Kami is easy, offering various options for both teachers and students. In My Apps, simply locate the Kami icon there for quick access. Alternatively, you can take advantage of Google Single Sign-On (SSO) providing seamless login.
Another convenient way to access Kami is through the "Open with Kami" button, which appears in Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides, as well as Canva, allowing you to directly open and work on your files within the Kami platform. For a speedy shortcut, try typing "kami.new" into your browser's address bar to instantly create a new Kami document. While students have the Kami extension pushed to their Chrome browsers, teachers can elect to download this from the Chrome Web Store for ease of access and increased functionality.
If you're using Google Classroom, you can also access Kami assignments directly within the platform. Look for the "Grade with Kami" button on assigned documents to open and complete your work within Kami's interactive environment.
No matter your preferred method, Kami ensures a smooth and accessible entry point for all users, making digital learning engaging and collaborative.
