Experts' Guide to iPad Note Taking with an Apple Pencil

By Jeremy P. Jones

The Apple Pencil unlocks the full potential of the iPad as a digital note taking tool. This guide presents several techniques from experienced users who use the Apple Pencil extensively for note-taking on a range of subjects.

In this book, you will learn:

• How to write neatly with the Apple Pencil on the smooth iPad glass.
• How to cleverly structure your hand-written notes on a page to make revision easier.
• A handwriting-led and fun active learning technique to consistently work through your study materials.
• How to construct big picture notes on an infinite canvas to make sense of details.
• Tackle a PDF-heavy curriculum with annotation tools built into iPadOS, and additional features available in GoodNotes and Notability.
• Trace images neatly for a precise yet hand-drawn look, spruced up with an easy shading technique to make a memorable diagram.
• Engage "Scribble" with the Apple Pencil to handwrite everywhere, as an alternative to keyboard input, and thus work smoothly on the iPad while note-taking.

[Omar Alani · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I was searching for something more structured. If I want to watch YouTube videos, I’d browse YouTube.
