3 – Annotate on Maps
Maps are an essential part of social studies curriculum, but often times they are left to the teacher pulling down a large map at the front of the room or handing a student a worksheet for them to draw on. With Kami, teachers are able to put map creation in a digital space where students can add more than just handwritten notes. By distributing a PDF map and having students open it in Kami, students can now annotate the map like never before. Here are some strategies for using Kami with PDF Maps in your classroom: Students can add text in text boxes and comments, describing various regions on the map. This will allow students to elaborate further on topics, more so than writing on paper allows. Students can draw routes directly on the map using the drawing tool, outlining the ways in which explorers or groups of people travelled. Students can insert images onto the map that directly relate to the area studied. These images could include a primary source image the students had previously annotated. Students can collaborate with other classmates on annotating the map.
