New \u201cMy Domain\u201d Sharing Permission<\/h5>\n

We have an exciting new \u201cdomain\u201d option for Google Drive users that allows you to share your Kami file with users in the same domain email address as yours!
This feature is super useful for when you want to make sure only those people with your school and district email addresses are the only ones who can access your Kami file.<\/p>\n

How-to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Choose My Domain, then Viewer, Editor, or Create an individual copy<\/li>\n
  2. Go to Share Document from the menu bar.

    \u201cCreate a Copy\u201d with Google Classroom<\/h5>\n

    Another super helpful update to our Google Classroom integration is our \u201cCreate a Copy\u201d function!
    This comes in handy when you\u2019ve accidentally, or intentionally, created a \u201cView Only\u201d assignment, when instead, you want students to work on individual copies. Now, Kami will ask if you\u2019d like to create a copy and attach it to your Google Classroom, allowing you to push out new editable copies instead of re-creating the entire assignment down the line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    Schoology Elementary Experience (EE) integration<\/h5>\n

    We now fully integrate with Schoology\u2019s Elementary Experience!
    This update gives younger students a more streamlined experience when it comes to locating and opening their assignments with Kami.

    This change is only visible to students, so as the teacher, you must select which course to enable the EE mode.<\/p>\n

    How-to<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Choose the Course you want to use Schoology\u2019s EE on.<\/li>\n
    2. Click Course Options, then Edit Privacy\/Settings.<\/li>\n
    3. Scroll down to Course Settings, then under Course Theme select Elementary Experience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


      This has to be done for every course (at this stage).<\/p>\n

      Next, create a Kami assignment as you normally would so students can open and complete their assignments.<\/p>\n

      Click here<\/a> for a detailed video.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      Kami Feature Restrictions in Canvas<\/h5>\n

      Feature Restrictions are now available on our Canvas integration! This allows you to toggle specific Kami tools on\/off for your students to work with use on that particular assignment. Only the selected tools will be visible for the students, but as the teacher, you\u2019ll still have the entire toolbar available when grading.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      This feature is great for controlling assessment criteria, or even just to make assignments simpler, especially for younger students!<\/p>\n

      How-to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Create a Kami assignment<\/a> as you normally would.<\/li>\n
      2. In the New Kami Assignment dialog, click Feature Restrictions to select or deselect tools for your students.<\/li>\n
      3. Click Ok to save.
