Kami is an awesome Chrome extension that, when added, allows students to annotate on PDF assignments. These are all helpful videos to explain how teachers and students can use it. Or visit https://www.kamiapp.com/ for more information.
To be able to use Kami with Google Classroom you must have:
1. Google Classroom set up for both Student and Teacher accounts.
2. Students assigned to a Classroom class under the correct teacher.
3. The Kami Chrome extension and app installed in both your own and your students' Chrome browser. To install go to the Chrome Web Store here
How to send individual copies to students via Google Classroom:
Create an assignment.
Attach the file you would like to distribute to students and select 'Make a copy for each student'.
Fill out the Title and any instructions and select Assign.
FYI-Do NOT check the box to include instructions. The Kami instructions are a Google doc outside our network so students will not be able to access it. The student instructions are posted to the right and in a sublink of this page. You could add the link to the assignment, or walk your students through the process the first time.
From the Student's Side
If they have the Chrome extension installed, the students can open the file directly from the Google file preview window, just like they would open any assignment. They will see Open With at the top of their screen and they should select Kami.
The students can use the tool bar on the left to make annotations and complete the assigned tasks. When they have finished, they can save back to the file in Drive created by Classroom. They do this by clicking the 'Save' button, which looks like a floppy disk in the top right, and then clicking the Save now button.
After closing out of Kami, the student can turn in the assignment by clicking the Turn in button in Classroom.
Optional: If you have corrections for your students, you can return your student's work from within Classroom. The students can then re-open the file, make any corrections and re-submit the file.
