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
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
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
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 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 The long-awaited Color Picker is here! Now you can add more colors to your palette when using the Markup, Text Box, Comments, Equation, Drawing, and Shapes tools.\u00a0<\/p>\n How-to:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n Did someone say Back-to-school stickers?? Well, we heard you loud and clear, and here they are!\u00a0<\/p>\n They can be found in the same spot. Here, you\u2019ll also find a new additional tab labeled \u201cSticker Rewards\u201d \u2013 this is where your unlocked Kami Reward<\/a>s stickers will appear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n To turn it on: Click Profile on the menu bar, then Settings. Scroll down to \u201cBeta Features\u201d, then click +On for \u201cDrag create text boxes\u201d. Have a play and send us your feedback!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n More Text Box improvements now recognize the last text format used and apply it to new text boxes you create.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Want to give these updates a go?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\u00a0<\/h5>\n
