Kami Tutorial

I chose Kami as my digital tool because it is a game changer.  If you didn’t use this in Distance Learning already, you will definitely want to use it this fall.  It was the perfect tool to transition from in school to at home online work. However we start school this year, I will continue to use this amazing tool.

What is Kami?

Kami is your digital classroom game changer! According to the website,

Kami is the leading digital classroom app built to transform any existing

document into an interactive learning experience.
