December 2020Josh Whiting

A version of this post was first shared in our GSD Ed. Tech. Monthly Newsletter for Teachers, authored and curated by Teresa Bruin, Educational Technology Team Leader. We’ve also included help resources created by Davina Sauthoff, Educational Technology Team Leader.

Kami (https://www.kamiapp.com/) is a tool that allows students to digitally annotate text and edit documents. Using the kid-friendly Chrome extension, students can make notes on ebooks, publisher-supplied PDFs, worksheets, and more. Granite recently purchased a district-wide license to Kami for all teachers and students!

Getting Started with Kami

If you haven’t already tried Kami, it’s super easy to get started. The Kami Chrome extension has been pushed out to all Granite staff and students, but it can also be found in the Chrome Web Store if you need to install it in your Chrome browser.

Sign up for a Kami account by choosing “Sign up with Google” and using your @granitesd.org Google account, so that your account will automatically be licensed and connected to our district license. If you already have a free or paid Kami account, it should have automatically transferred to our district license. This ‘How to Create an Account with Kami’ video may also be helpful:
