Another resource, check out @usekamiapp! We all have PDFs that are great in class but could be busy work at home, Kami changes all that! Explain assignments through video comments & have your students annotate on the PDF. It all works through Classroom! https://t.co/4FH8nHFEfn pic.twitter.com/VptQHHj4ag

Had a really happy moment when I finally put together that I could share my @usekamiapp screen during my @zoom_us conference this morning during my AP Chemistry “tutorials” this morning to work problems together better (though probably should have realized before now...).
