I have been searching for a platform that allows us to edit PDFs for free since this is not something we do daily. I am glad that iLovePDF offers tons of features for absolutely free.

Kami
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.

  • I like being able to annotate directly on a student's work so that they can receive feedback in real-time.

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
iLovePDF
We need to visit the website and choose the feature we want to use. It is straightforward to use.

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.

Kami
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

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.
