Several BHS teachers have discovered a useful app called Kami (formerly called Notable PDF), which allows users to annotate, highlight, and comment on pdf documents. The ability for students to type on scanned documents adds convenience and efficiency for teachers as it eliminates the need to print and distribute paper documents in class.
What I love most about Kami, though, is its potential for collaboration among students. Teachers can create a link to a shared pdf that multiple collaborators can annotate together. What a great way for students to practice close reading, pool their knowledge, and learn from each other as they note points of confusion, identify key ideas, and analyze an author’s craft in a piece of text!
