I need to do a lot of reading in the next few weeks.
I learn best if I make written notes as I read, even if I never look at the notes again. Something about having to encapsulate the meaning in my own words in my own way makes the ideas sticky.
I am toying with the low-tech solution below.
Also in my line-of-sight is getting an iPadPro and Apple Pencil (with keyboard cover) and doing something similar with handwritten reading notes written straight into Evernote. (For over a thousand dollars more ..) I COULD always take images of the handwritten pages below and add each sequence as a note in Evernote .. but that is just a bit too much work for me. (Although I do love the way Evernote indexes handwriting and makes fulltext-searchable…).
Has anyone tried the iPadPro/Apple Pencil combo? Something like below? OR – have something even better to suggest??
Yes, I have tried the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil combo. It is pretty good as it allows for Split View. So, I can have the scanned notes/readings on one side and my note-taking app in the other.
But I have made use of the low-tech way (paper and pen) on some instances as well.
Oh – I hadn’t thought about split view. Thanks. I have an older ipad where this does not happen. But that makes it even more compelling – and would sway me toward getting the larger version (in this imaginary world-where-I-can-afford-new-gear)
