The personal learning network for educators
Tablets are taking the academic world by storm. They're light, compact and extremely multifunctional. They also do things differently than a laptop. One of the really interesting areas tablets are being used is as a notebook.
There are dozens of note-taking apps out there, each with it's particular pluses and minuses. I'm just going to touch on a few that I find particularly interesting.
1) PDF editors- iAnnotate PDF, PDF Notes, PDFpen, PDF Expert
2) Typing, sharing notes- Google docs, Microsoft Office Live, Evernote, Notability
3) Document scanners- Camscanner, Photo to PDF, DocScanner
Like so much of what we've seen so far, tablets are providing students with options they've never had before. These are just a few of the ways tablets can (but just as often do not) outshine laptops. Please let me know if I've missed something important here. I'd love to get your feedback.
