Intro
The best way to get started in Kami is to create an account and sign in! First, go to Kami by typing kami.app into your web browser. Next, you will need to sign into Kami with your school email address.
Now that you know how to sign into Kami, let’s install the Kami extension!
Installing the Kami extension: Google Chrome
If you use Google Chrome, head to the Chrome Web Store, search for Kami, and then click “Add to Chrome.”
Installing the Kami extension: Microsoft Edge
If you use Microsoft Edge, you can install the Kami extension by going to Add Ons. Simply search for Kami, then click “Get.” You’re all set! The Kami button should now be visible in your browser—it’s just a click away whenever you want to open Kami.
How to open a new Kami document
To open a new Kami document, first click on the Kami button in your browser. From your Kami Dashboard, click “New Page” and type in how many pages you need, the page type you would like, and your preferred page orientation. Then click “Add!”
From here, you can start getting familiar with the Kami toolbar, where you can find all the epic tools you’ll need in class.
Let’s learn how to open a Kami assignment from your teacher.
We’ll show you how to do this with Google Classroom, Schoology, Canvas, and Microsoft Teams so you can skip to whichever platform you use.
Opening a Kami assignment using Google Classroom
To open a Kami Assignment in Google Classroom, go to your class, then select the assignment and click “Open with Kami.” Now you can use Kami tools to complete your work!
Opening a Kami assignment using Schoology
To open a Kami Assignment in Schoology, go to the Course Dashboard or Courses to select your class. Select the assignment and click on the file to open it in Kami. Now you can start using Kami tools to complete your work!
Opening a Kami assignment using Canvas
To open a Kami Assignment in Canvas, go to Courses to select your class, then go to Assignments. First, click the Kami assignment and then “Load the assignment in a new window.” This will open your Canvas assignment in Kami, where you can complete your work!
Opening a Kami assignment using Microsoft Teams
To open a Kami Assignment in Microsoft Teams, first select your class from the Teams dashboard. Next, from the menu on the left, select Assignments, then click on the assignment you would like to complete, and it will open up in a Kami window inside Teams. Now you can use Kami tools to complete your work!
If your Kami Toolbar looks different
If you notice your toolbar is looking a bit different than usual, don’t worry, this just means your teacher has hand-picked the best tools for you to use on this assignment.
Let’s explore three Kami tools you can use to complete your assignments.
How to use the Text Box tool
This is the Text Box tool. To create text boxes, select it from the toolbar, and click anywhere on your Kami assignment to start typing.
How to use Voice Typing
If you’re not super confident at typing, Kami’s got you covered! Try Voice Typing instead. Select the Text Box tool, click anywhere on your Kami assignment, and then click the little microphone button located to the very right of the text editor menu. When the microphone is red, that means Kami will start typing your voice into text! Once you have finished, just click the microphone again to stop typing.
How to use the Drawing Tool
Now let’s check out the Drawing Tool! Select the Drawing from the Toolbar, then click and hold to draw anywhere on your Kami assignment. If you really want to get creative and change the color of your brush, tap the color of your choice and start drawing!
How to Submit your assignment
Once you have completed your Kami assignment, hit the Submit button. This will send your work back to your teacher for grading.
That’s it! Now you’re ready to use Kami!
