    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.

    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 usually recommend OrbitNote for students who have more difficulty with penmanship. I do find that there are a lot of other apps that can cover needed features such as screen reading on a PDF. So usually, I only suggest OrbitNote if A student has difficulty with handwriting.

    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
    Kami is easy to use and easy to find information that I am looking for. If I need to learn how to use a tool I can look up references easily. The tools are easy to deploy for both staff and students. I find that the icons are intuitive

    I gave this reading because I do wish that teachers and staff would take a little bit more time to learn about OrbitNote and its features as well as integrated into the classroom. I think that often all of these different computer programs all working in isolation from one another can be overwhelming for teachers and staff to learn

    Alternatives Considered
    Kami
    I think that Kami is easier to use and works in a more consistent way. Orbitnote is clunky and doesn't work as consistently. In the accessibility space, we are starting to recommend Kami products over the TextHelp/Everyway family of products. I think the Google integration is smoother as well

    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.
