Today we are going to learn about another amazing online
teaching software, which is called kemmy. And their website
is kemmy app.com. I recently came to know about me when I was
searching about PDF annotation tools or PDF editors, which have
the ability to annotate PDF file, because when you are
teaching online, sometimes you want to give your students a PDF
assignment and you want to be paperless. You don't want your
students to print the file and then annotate that file and scan
and then return back to you. Instead, you want your students
to put their answers on the PDF file, or other comments or
whatever they want to do and return the PDF straight away. So
this is the point where you need a PDF editor and PDF annotation
tool. And kemmy is one of those tools. No, you can do this PDF
annotations in Acrobat Reader as well. But again, there are a few
features which are free in both of these applications. And there
are few features which are paid in in both of these
applications. And I'm going to give you an overview of kemmy.
In this video, and I will make a separate video about what type
of annotations you can make on aggravate reader, then it will
be up to you to decide which tool is better for you. Because
it will also depend on what type of annotations you want.
Annotations can be a simply highlighting or a text box where
students can write their answers. And I will show you few
examples in Google Classroom now.
And there are some advanced annotation. For
example, if you want to add an audio comment, insert a document
or even a video comment inside a doc. But before I start, if you
have not subscribed to my channel, please hit the
subscribe button and also the notification bell to get
notified whenever I post a new video on this channel every
Tuesday and Friday. So now let's get started. The way you use
this software is you can create an account I have created an
account with the kemmy app. And it is better that if you also
installed the kemmy Chrome extension, so I'm going to
install camming Chrome extension right now, but because I have
already created an account so I can sign into my account. And no
I can open file from my Google Drive or from my computer, or I
can start a new blank document as well. But what I would like
to show you in this video is how you can use kemmy with your
Google Classroom, because Cammy has the integration with some of
the learning management systems.
And one is Google Classroom. The other is canvas.
And I have already made a few videos about Google classroom
and canvas. If you are interested, you can watch those
videos on my channel. And the third learning management system
which you can integrate with kemmy is Schoology. So these
three integrations are currently available with me. So what I
would like to show you is how we use Cammy with Google
assignments. So now I have open Google Classroom, I am logged in
as a teacher, and no while click on this algebra class
assignments reside in this classwork tab. So I click on
that there is one assignment which I have created for this
video tutorial. So I click on that assignment.
And this is a PDF assignment. So I
click on that, and now I have this PDF. As you can see that in
open width area, I have few options. So one of those option
is this kill me, because I have open an account and I have
started a free trial. So no credit card is needed, you can
start free trial. And when your trial ends, you will go back to
the basic free version of camming. The way Cammy handles
PDF is better than Google Docs at the moment. And I will show
you in a minute. As you can see that this PDF has only three
questions. There is one math symbol used here. Then there is
an equation with some superscript and some
mathematical terms, there is a text box. And I want students to
put their answers in these to fill in the blanks and in this
textbook. So of course they can print this document, they can
write the answer, they can scan it, they can upload, again, a
PDF and they can resubmit. So this is possible. But instead of
that they can also open this document in Google Docs and in
kemmy as well. So let us say that they open this in Google
Docs. So let's see how Google Docs handles this PDF. If I open
this in Google Docs, the document has opened as a Google
document and you can save this as a PDF there is no problem.
But if you look at this document,
this radical sign has
gone superscripts are fine
and the document look ugly. Because as you can see
that no it's one is Here. And if you download this, after putting
your answer, you can put your answer here, of course, very
easy. But when you save this document as a PDF, it will not
recover this radical symbol. And one thing more, you will notice
that there is no text box here, the text box has also vanished
from Google document. So this is not a good experience. So let us
close this. And let us close this Google document now. And
no, I click on open with and this time I open this document
with Kami. And no, as you can see that it can be we have both
the square root sign and this textbox intact, and no students
can fill in the blanks and they can put their reply here. Now on
the left hand side, all the annotation tools are available.
Please note that not all these tools are free, I am using a
trial. So this as you can see that this is a one week trial
period, in which I have access to all these tools, even they
are paid, but basic text box is free. Similarly, you can comment
this for free. And I think you can also make drawings. So for
general purpose assignments, you have enough free tools
available. So let us start with the text box. So I click on this
text box, and then I click in this area. And now I can type my
answer. And if I want to change the color, I can change the
color from here. And I can select red color. Let's say I
want this answer to be red. And now let's try this comment tool.
I click here. And I can for example, I want to comment on
this. So I highlight this and then a comment box will appear
on the right hand side just like Google document, and I can enter
my comment in this area. And that's it. You can also change
this color as well, by making a selection from this area. Now I
have this text highlighter, box highlighter. So let's try this
text highlighter, I can highlight any text, and I can
change the color. Or then we have this box highlighter. And
let me choose a dark color red color, for example. And if I
want to put a square box, I can click anywhere and it will
insert up box at that location, then we have this strike through
normally we should take let's take this black color. And if
for example, I want to strike this text, I select this and it
will put up line on top of the text. So these are some cool
tools available, you can select more colors from this more
colors tool if you want. You can also draw shapes, like
rectangle. And you can also draw some other shapes, for example,
ellipse triangle. So let's install the extension. Oh, I
open a new tab and I type Chrome Store. And in the search bar, I
type Kami. And this is the extension which I would like to
add. So add to chrome add extension. No It has been added.
So I can close this. And now let me delete these annotations. I
hover over this and then I click Delete. And this annotation will
be deleted. And I can I can select these and delete all
this. And now it's a bit clear. So in the comments section we
also have two very important options for a voice comment and
a video comment. So let us assume that I want to give some
hint to my students about this third question in a voice
format. So I select this, and then I select this third item.
And now I can record whatever message I want to record and it
will be recorded here and then I click on this and it will be
stopped and no I can replay this message
and know my message is being played. So student will be able
to play the message and they will get some hint to solve this
question. Similarly, you can also add a video comment and
these two are paid features. And this video comment is
unfortunately only supported in Firefox, I'm using Chrome. But
essentially it is the same, you click here. Then you select the
area where you want to put a video comment and then you will
record the video comment but it is only supported in Firefox,
but for most purposes, this audio comment is enough. You can
explore some other features as well for example, these equation
annotations where you can put some symbols inside your PDF. If
I click here, I have a lot of symbols available. For example,
answering anything question on the PDF, I can straight away put
these symbols within my text. Now another very important
feature available in this app is split and merge. So this feature
is very important when you want to split a large PDF into
various pages. Or if you want to combine two pages into a single
PDF. So let me close this document and then I will show
you how you can split and merge. So I close this for now. And now
this is main application of Cammy. So let us first merge a
document. And there are few options available. I want to
open a document from my computer. So I click on that.
And now I have prepared these two pages to show you the merger
feature. So I click on first page, and I open it so this page
will be open and no, I click again, split and merge, it will
process this document and it will show me when it's ready.
And no I can continue with split and march of this document is
shown here. No, I click Next. And now I can add another
document. So I click on plus sign. And I add the second page,
click Open. And now we have these two pages. So now there
are two modes, merge mode, and split mode. So I want to use the
merge mode. So I merge here. And then I say, export all. And now
I click Continue. It has processed and no I click
download the file. And no I can give it a name, for example,
merged, and I save on my desktop. And no I open this
file. And as you can see that both pages have been merged
successfully. So this is how you merge two PDFs into one. And if
you want to split, you can also do that. Let's close this and
close this as well. I click on this scammy. And no I come back
to their website, I sign in again. And no, I am in the main
application area this time once again. And this time, I'm going
to show you how you can split a document or again, I can open
from my Google Drive. But I have saved a file in my computer. So
I open that file. And this exemple two is the file which I
want to split. So I open this file, and it shows me that I
have already annotated this file before. So I simply close this,
I don't have to take any action, because it keeps the record of
all previous annotation, and it will open the file soon. And now
my file has been opened. And as you can see that it has seven
pages. And now I can split this file to any number of pages. The
way we do that is again, I click on split and merge document, it
will process the document and know when it's ready. I can
click on Continue. No, I click Next. And now all those pages
are shown here. Currently, the split mode is selected. And no,
I need to click on this split pages. And here I will set the
way I want to split the document. So I click on split
pages. And it will show me split every how many pages. So for
example, if I say every one page, so it is showing me at the
bottom here that there will be seven generated output files.
And if I select every two pages, now it will show me that there
will be four output files because I have seven pages. And
when I'm saying that split every two page together, so it means
there will be 453 for the first six and then one file for the
seventh page. And for example, I say three here. And then it will
show me that there will be three outputs. So in this way, you can
split the way you want. Let's say I want only every three
pages to be split together. So I click on continue, it will show
me this message output has been split three, three. And if I
scroll down, this is the last one. And now I can simply click
on export all I continue now, and I click download file. And
now it has opened my zip utility and these are the three PDFs
which I can extract to any output folder. And I'm not going
to do that. So I just closed this but you can extract these
splitted documents. So I close this as well. So this is it
about temi PDF editor, which you can use to annotate PDF
documents in your google classroom or in Canvas
Instructure are in Schoology if you are using any of these
learning management systems, so I hope you like this video if so
please give it a thumbs up. Thanks for watching and see you
next time.
