I have used an earlier version of this productivity tool, which was named Notable PDF, and was please to discover that Kami is similar, but much better. With Kami installed as an extension to your Chrome browser, you and our students can easily upload files, or access files stored in Google Drive, and then instantly share them with others, highlight, underline, and strikethrough text, type your own text, add comments, and do freehand drawing. The sharing feature allows for collaborative annotation. Kami is a google Apps Technology Partner, which among other things, means that there is 24/7 tech support. There is also a premium paid version with expanded features, including the ability to insert e-signatures, and split and merge files. We are quickly becoming part of the global learning movement. Technology provides virtually unlimited access to information, but keeping up with the latest educational trends and technologies can be daunting. My goal is to provide a forum for sharing and learning about web 2.0 technologies that are revolutionizing classroom instruction, and recommend some of the best, and usually free, digital tools that can inspire and support education.
