This is useful in-class as well as if any students are working remotely.<\/p>\n<p>Frequently, teachers wonder if digital tools can ever replace the experience of looking over a student's shoulder and coaching them in real time as they work on a task. Kami's collaboration tools allow this, and take it to the next level -- teachers can digitally coach multiple students at the same time, in real time!<\/p>\n<p>It can also be used asynchronously -- students can do work digitally in class or for homework, and the teacher can ink on top of students' work and leave comments. Those comments also have powerful functionality: when a student replies to the comment and revises their work, you can get a notification, giving you the opportunity to confirm that their revision is correct and then noting that they have learned the skill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These collaboration tools work across grade levels and subjects. Roshan's example is for simple addition, but she has used it when teaching AP Calculus, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_1 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2022\/09\/unnamed.gif\" title=\"unnamed\" alt=\"math collaboration kami wacom\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Other features<\/h3>\n<p>Kami's collaboration tools can electrify learning in a variety of classes, grade levels, and subject areas.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign language classes, for example, have found that using the audio comments and replies, including for read alouds, can be a great way to read through a text and add comments together -- and the teacher can ask students to work together and learn from each other to perfect pronunciation.<\/p>\n<p>Kami does have text to speech, as well, and nearly any document with text uploaded into Kami can be recognized and read out loud, which is great for accessibility.<\/p>\n<p>There are also multiple ways to give feedback, including \"stickers,\" which are like emojis, to give short visual responses to student work. These, in conjunction with text, audio, and video comments, can be applied to individual work or a collaborative assignment multiple students contributed to.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_6 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_7 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_0 et_pb_divider et_pb_space et_pb_divider_position_center et_pb_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_5 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>The power of Kami + Wacom<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you're using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wacom.com\/en-us\/products\/pen-tablets\/wacom-intuos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wacom Intuos Wireless<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wacom.com\/en-us\/products\/pen-displays\/wacom-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wacom One<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wacom.com\/en-us\/products\/pen-tablets\/one-by-wacom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One by Wacom<\/a>, pairing the device with Kami can powerfully elevate your teaching this year with Kami's simple, intuitive, and powerful tools to give meaningful feedback and annotate documents live.
