4/5/2023 0 Comments Goodnotes vs notability 2020I wanted the iPad, the Apple Pencil and I downloaded GoodNotes. I asked my mom for the iPad because I had one dollar in my bank account. Listen, college broke is a different type of broke. Once class is over I’d have to charge the device and immediately transfer my notes or else I’d forget and half my notes would be somewhere else. There have been times in class where my laptop and/or iPad would die and I’d have to resort to paper notes again. Having the iPad eliminates the need to take pictures and send them. When I accidentally sleep through class, or if a friend needs the notes from lecture, I can send or receive a PDF copy of the digital notes and be done. With my iPad I can quickly erase something and write the correct version without getting lost. I have at least two professors who speed through lectures, and on paper my notes look horrific with the crossed lines, scribbled words and corrections in the margins. The iPad and Apple Pencil replaced the notebooks, folders and pens so that all that will be in my backpack is my planner and tablet. I tend to have three to four classes a day and having to carry all the notebooks, folders, pens, books, planner, etc. For sociology classes, there’s a lot of articles to read and by importing them into GoodNotes I can annotate the article right then and there instead of printing it out. You can import PowerPoint lectures and articlesĪ lot of my professors teach using PowerPoints, so I can import them into GoodNotes and write directly on the slides. For example, I have a folder named “Spring 2020” for the spring semester of this year and within that folder are more folders for each course I am currently taking. In GoodNotes, you can create folders and choose different covers for each notebook. Digital Notes Pros Everything stays in one place Here are some of the things I noticed while taking digital notes on my iPad and laptop versus taking notes on paper. What I will say is within that time the battle between digital notes and paper notes has come to an end. Personally, I still hand write my notes because I have a slight (nothing serious) obsession with gel pens.Īfter being in college for three years, I’d like to think that I have my note taking process down pat, but I’d be lying. On the other hand, there is the classic staple: handwritten notes. You can either type them on your computer using OneNote or with the iPad and Apple Pencil most students use Notability and/or GoodNotes. When you search digital notetaking on YouTube, there are a number of videos where people show you their preferred way of taking digital notes. I went back to those videos and studied their techniques and the small things I wasn’t noticing before. I considered giving up, but I didn’t want my mom to feel like she wasted her money. On Christmas morning, I received an iPad with the Apple Pencil, and with the help of my extensive YouTube research, I bought GoodNotes within the same hour.Īt first, I struggled taking notes on my iPad only because I wanted the aesthetic Pinterest notes, but digitally. That was the day I considered going paperless.Īfter telling my mom about the girl, along with a thorough bullet point list on why I needed the iPad, she told me that she’d consider it. Her iPad was the same size as the screen on my MacBook Pro, and I grew curious. All of a sudden another student pulls out this massive iPad with an Apple Pencil and sat it on her desk. It was freshman year and I was sitting in my SOC 100 class grabbing my designated notebook along with three pens for a nice color scheme.
