Whiteboard with Kami

Kami

Rethink what your everyday whiteboard can do and find out how your classroom can benefit from virtual whiteboarding with Kami.

In your classroom, the whiteboard is always at the center – as something so simple, it can be very easy to forget just how effective it can be with the right tools.

We’re talking Kami for Whiteboarding!

It’s as easy as opening a blank page on your digital whiteboard and you’ll get full access to a space with all the awesome Kami tools and features! Here, you can have an enhanced whiteboarding session, brainstorming session, and collaborate in real-time, whether your team members or students are remote teams or in-class!

Unlike when using a physical whiteboard, with Kami for whiteboarding, you no longer have to erase notes, docs, or templates as you go. The board is instantly saved and wiped clean for you to move on or start a new class!

Using Kami with your online whiteboard gives you access to collaboration tools, screen sharing, and digital notes like never before! It’s intuitive and easy to use, and it’ll work with your existing classroom tech, like digital pointers or cursors.

Plus, the classroom isn’t the only place to benefit. Take your whiteboard with you: Zoom or video conferencing, webinars, collaboration meetings, ideation sessions, or anywhere a collaborative whiteboard would be useful!

“Some of my favorite features include the ability to use Kami as an online whiteboard, including multiple ways to annotate (image, audio, video, speech-to-text, drawing, shapes, etc.)”

– Charlsie Wigley, Jefferson County Schools, AL

Kami is the ultimate whiteboarding tool. Never losing notes means never losing a teachable moment. From remote work or remote whiteboarding, to classroom sessions and workflows; your Kami whiteboard gives you permission to take control of your lesson and engage your students more than ever.

Why whiteboard with Kami:
Teach and learn anywhere, anytime!

Whiteboarding with Kami allows you to have teachable moments, anytime, from anywhere in the classroom. Not only is your content up on the smartboard, but it’s also right in front of each student on their device for them to learn from, interact with, and keep for later. This frees you from the front of the class so you can have those important one-on-ones, all while keeping the lesson on track.

Let students lead

Learning doesn’t end when the class does. By whiteboarding with Kami, you can expand on all your notes by easily turning them into an activity or adding content to make it a rich and engaging resource. Add voice comments to questions, or fill any contextual gaps by embedding a YouTube video – this way students can come back to the page long after the lesson has ended and continue to learn!

Extend the lesson

Learning doesn’t end when the class does.

Access for all

Whiteboarding with Kami takes things one step further by not only digitizing and autosaving classroom notes but by making them 100% accessible and shareable to anyone you want! Send out class lessons and learning material to students, parents, or an email group; either as editors or viewers. This way, students have all the written material they need for in-class and remote learning, as well as any important voice notes or extra content captured during the lesson!

Track progress

Nothing makes a lesson more fulfilling than knowing you engaged all of your students. Whiteboarding with Kami lets you follow how much and how well each individual student is tracking with the Annotation Summary – a sidebar that shows you who wrote each annotation and where they are in the document. So, at the end of the day, you know exactly how your students are keeping up with your lessons!

More than a digital whiteboard

By using a Kami document as a smartboard, you get more than the standard markup, highlighting, and annotation features. You unlock a rich set of tools and features including Speech-to-text, Text-to-speech, Video and Voice comments, Add Media tools, Screen capture, a dictionary, Kami stickers and so much more!
