    Chose OrbitNote
    I like how read&write integrates with OrbitNote making it where students do not have to learn multiple tools depending on what they are doing on the computer.

    When dealing with absent students, and giving them classroom material, Kami is great. I never make extra copies of worksheets anymore. If a student needs/wants a second one, they can get it digitally from me. Additionally, being able to track the feedback that I give to students is a real plus.

    Pros
    Kami
    • Kami does a great job at helping you reshape pdfs and share documents from different formats.
    • I like being able to give all of my students a copy of a document, and having Kami organize each student's work product in real-time.
    • I like being able to annotate directly on a student's work so that they can receive feedback in real-time.
    • I like being able to merge, cut, and edit documents quickly.

    Cons
    Kami
    • When I am multitasking on multiple screens, there are times when I am trying to scroll with my stylus and I end up writing on the document.
    • When Kami creates folders and organization, there seems to be almost too much redundancy. The same file seems to be in multiple places. I don't know if that is a Kami problem or a me problem, but I'll probably start trying to clean things up a little soon.
    • I think that the tool restriction for students method could be improved.

    Usability
    Kami
    There is a small learning curve with some of the annotation tools. There is also a learning curve for embracing exactly what you can accomplish with Kami. However, with just a little practice, you can master just about all of the Kami features.

    I like Miro better for teacher directed lessons, and group discussions. I like Nearpod more if I have to include a number of different interactive aspects to lessons. I find Google Slides and Adobe to be more clunky and less user friendly than Kami generally. However, if I want to just make a document better, or I want to give my students independent work, or if I want them to complete homework than Kami is my go-to tool

    Return on Investment
    Kami
    • My desk has about 10% of the paperwork sitting on it than it used to have.
    • I never have any arguments about whether a student turned something in or not.
    • A student doesn't have to physically see me for me to help them with work. I can write and they can see what I write.
    • Sharing documents with colleagues is now a breeze.
