    In this video, we talk about my strategy for taking notes with the iPad and Apple Pencil. I use an iPad Pro but would probably recommend the new 2018 iPad with Apple Pencil if you're buying a new one. We talk about the benefits of taking notes with an iPad vs traditional methods, we talk about Notability vs OneNote (I prefer Notability), and I share various techniques of note-taking that I use in lectures, seminars and hospital placements. Enjoy xx

As a student, using my iPad Air 2019 with Apple Pencil in Goodnotes 5 has literally changed the way I study and made it fun. I’m glad I saw this video and found your content.

    I'm a college professor and will share this video with my students. Much of what you talk about here applies to taking notes on paper, and I very much appreciated your discussion of the benefits of writing notes over typing them.
    While I teach economics & research methods, I'm increasingly including lessons & activities to help students learn strong learning skills, like how to evaluate the quality of information on the internet.
    I've been thinking I should put together lessons on effective note-taking skills, for my intro-level courses, and watching your video has sealed the deal. Starting this fall, I'm definitely doing this.
    Regarding the cost of an iPad for college students: I'm very sensitive to costs and always take them into account when deciding what textbooks to assign and whether there are quality free materials students can use instead of paid ones. I will certainly teach note-taking skills for written notes on paper. But the cost of a base model current generation 10.2" iPad is typically around $300 USD, and they can often be found on sale for $250 or so. That is totally worth it for a tool that will be invaluable in almost every course for four years of college. That's less than the cost of a parking permit at some universities. Of course, even $250 is beyond the reach of many students from low-income families, and they should have the opportunities that people like me who were lucky enough to be born into middle- and upper-middle income families have enjoyed. I'm working with other teachers & a few administrators at my college to find ways to get an iPad into the hands of every student that could benefit from one but can't afford it.
    Meanwhile, I enjoyed your video and will be sharing it with my students.
    Thanks, and best wishes,
    RC

      Tips to get iPads for cheap
      1. Apple has 20% student/teacher/education worker discount.
      2. Apple sells refurbished iPads (with new outer-casings) for dirt cheap. Ik refurbished doesn’t sound that good but trust me apple has high standards and the products are as good as new.
      3. Buy from certified third parties e.g Amazon.
      Hope this helps

      Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Messiah.

    I have the iPad Pro and I use notability as well for school. I’m a nursing student! Thought I would mention that with the microphone icon on notability, you can record lecture and when you play them back later you can watch your notes being written in real time with the lecture! My iPad was the best purchase I’ve made for my schooling so far. Definitely makes note taking more convenient and way more fun!

      Hsauce I have both and I can honestly say that once I got my iPad I didn’t even bring my MacBook to school with me. I would only use it when a teacher wanted something typed, or if I wanted something to be typed. You could easily get the keyboard that comes with it and you wouldn’t even need a MacBook! Definitely go with the Pro though. I can’t speak for other iPads. I’ve only ever had the pro and I’m not sure the difference in capability between the two.

I have moved to iPad Pro and use Notability. There is just no way I count not have taken the notes I needed with out this combo. That and having the audiobook recording syncing with the written or typed notes. It is incredible. I type notes, use the pen and draw notes and add pictures to the notes. I have to say if you tried this combo iPad and Notability and really spent 23 mins and 30 seconds to learn how to use the Notability app you will see why it is liked and used.

I really enjoyed the pace of the video & how well thought out & succinct it was. I get frustrated easily with TH-camrs that end up repeating the same things over and over because they haven’t thought out what they want to say. Plus the fact that I could understand you with your accent & pace was amazing. I am so horrible at understanding English spoken with foreign accents- at least foreign to me ;) I think hearing such strong southern USA accents all my life has damaged some accent translation center in my brain! Good luck with finishing medical school & I wish you blessings in your career!!

    Meanwhile the rest of the world are watching netflix and you tube on their ipads. Well done. Its nice to see someone making genuine use of the tech.

      Walking Man Video there’s nothing wrong with that as long as it’s moderation, self-discipline is the key to getting information retained and performing well on your academics. it isn’t hard, people are just adapting to fast environments and money and not putting the effort into continuing their education at institutions that cater largely to the monetization of curricula rather than the individualism of a body of students that could potentially assemble a new face for intelligence

    I wish I could talk so quickly and efficiently! Listening makes me feel calm and happy. When I talk fast I just sound scared and frantic at the same time. 😂

    My goodness what an amazing video . I think Apple should employ you for this cause you do way better than their actual employers . I literally put in my reminders buy iPad Pro just like Ali and I don’t think I really even need it .

      I'm with you! I saw this and bought the iPad Pro with all the bells and whistles. Really glad I did it, it's been helping me with my note consolidation and helps me read PDF's so well!

    I'm a data science graduate student looking for a tablet to take notes on, and this is one of the only videos I found on note taking on an iPad. 😂
    Thank you for this vid!
