One huge challenge of teaching online<\/a> is that all your favourite worksheets suddenly become useless. Whilst students can view, they can\u2019t write on them and only a few will have a printer at home. Wouldn\u2019t it be great if they could write directly onto the resources you use? That\u2019s where Kami comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kami is a PDF and document annotation tool, but it goes much further than that. With Kami, transform any existing document into an interactive learning experience to make online and blended learning effective<\/a> for your students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Wacom, we\u2019re delighted to offer a new integration with Kami to let you use our comfortable pens with this great program. Kami is one of the five exciting new partnerships we\u2019ve added to our education software bundle<\/a>, carefully chosen to help educators make the move to online learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using your Wacom pen with Kami<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the Wacom One screen<\/a> and Wacom Intuos tablet<\/a> work perfectly with Kami. Simply plug it in and start enjoying the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of teachers who love Kami, say they struggle to handwrite on the screen. It\u2019s no surprise, is it? Handwriting with a mouse or roller ball isn\u2019t much fun. Using a Wacom pen means you can make the most of the wide range of drawing tools Kami offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a Wacom pen makes handwriting legible and gives you the ability to draw, annotate, highlight, and write anywhere you like on the screen. No more throwing out old resources. Now you can create interactive documents your students will love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Kami with your students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By purchasing a Kami teachers\u2019 account, your students can access it for free. Remember, with the Wacom One and Intuos, you get three months' free premium access to try all the features before making a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students need their own Kami account, but don\u2019t worry, Kami\u2019s committed to data protection. They won\u2019t share student data with third parties, and there\u2019s no advertising within the program. Kami can be used on any device with an internet connection. They suggest using it with a Chromebook, Mac, Windows, or Linux device, but it also works with an iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you use Kami collaboratively depends on the teaching platform you use. It works with Google Classroom, Schoology, and Canvas. You can also use it without an online classroom system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
