Kami is a tool that increases learner engagement. The learners love using it . I use it extensively for completing documents and working collaboratively with management on larger projects. I think our school uses it so much, there would be an outcry if we discontinued our license.
Jenny found Kami:
- Moderately saves school money“There are many templates that can be used. We use many features that help with completing of documents, there are paid products that cost a lot more.”

As a school that uses Chromebooks, Kami has quickly become an indispensable tool in our teaching toolkit. Kami allows our teachers to easily annotate, highlight, and provide feedback on student work, making the learning experience more dynamic and engaging. The ability to draw, comment, and highlight directly on PDFs has streamlined our workflow, significantly reducing the need for paper-based tasks. Kami’s intuitive interface ensures that both teachers and students can use the platform with ease, promoting a more efficient and collaborative learning environment. Kami can edit worksheets, help with reviewing student submissions, or engaging in group projects, Kami has proven to be an huge asset in our digital classroom. We highly recommend it to any school looking to enhance their digital learning strategy.

Kami is a great resource and pupils and staff have benefited from the tools, resources and accessibility tools that we have used so far. We also know that there are more functions, that with further training we will be able to utilise to support our teaching and learning.
