Digital Note-taking Tips on the iPad Pro (GoodNotes)

[@studycollab]

Hey guys! Sorry I have been so absent lately... As you know things have been a bit crazy with covid-19! However, hopefully now that I am at home practicing self-isolation, I will have more time to film + edit :) I hope you enjoy this IPAD video, if you want to purchase the paper-like screen protector I use here is the link: paperlike.com/studycollab1

[@lararubio2143]

studycollab: alicia hi! is this goodnotes 5 or 4 or a different version bc i was thinking of buying goodnotes but i want to know what version this is.

[@studycollab]

@Selly RANGEL-ALMEIDA 2018 :)

[@melisad6781]

Do you have to pay for the new version when it comes out?💗

[@studycollab]

@@melisad6781 don't think so!

[@melisad6781]

studycollab: alicia thank you💗

[@VictorFoote01]

Another tip for the eraser tool, hold the icon down, turn on "Auto-Deselect" and when you lift up the eraser it changes back to the writing tool instantly. It helps me a lot. Great video!

[@studycollab]

Oh wow! Thank you so much 🤩

[@srinivassakthivel7503]

Please help to know about the ipad pro bend issues does the aluminium really bend after long usage ???

[@leowalter8793]

Paper like literally has sponsored every KZbin video that has to do with an iPad

[@studycollab]

Hahaha they are so good tho!

[@athrinspiano2001]

Yeaaaaaaah brooo it is noticeable, isn’t it 😂😂😂?

[@ace-mq5im]

Helicopter1kobe0 i notoced this too😂😂

[@sannetrip4406]

haha literally

[@ashh8893]

I know right? I’ve only seen one youtuber (who wasn’t sponsored) say it’s not so good and a ton of good reviews that are sponsored, so it really makes me think if it’s a good product after all

[@Kevin-fj5oe]

Why is every note taking youtube channel is medical related student

[@tomaszzylinski5267]

Because it is so helpful for them :)

[@calvinfeng5357]

If a person is considering pre-med, his/her family is definitely not struggling financially, therefore there is surplus to buy an iPad. Bio-related (Organic Chem, Physiology, General Bio, etc...) fields generally require rote memorization. Other engineering fields, I'd imagine people prefer Jupyter notebook with Markdown and LaTex support.

[@uchungnguyen1474]

and they were sponsored by paperlike screenprotector :))

[@ahintea]

Lots of content!

[@bethanyhartzell1360]

Calvin Feng incorrect. Pre-med from a trailer park. I have to pay for everything myself.

[@pranavkhandal7965]

after 4 years of completing my engineering in computer science. I feel like I could have done really good in medical science. All I needed was an ipad. ☺️😊

[@deniseancira-medina9221]

Pranav Khandal lol right shit look at those notes 😂

[@xdgoosebion6929]

No lol

[@nataliemndz]

If you do split screen, one of the PowerPoint and other your notes, you can just hold the images from lecture PowerPoint, and drag it to your notes! So much easier and quicker than your way!

[@alenaatoutlemonde4036]

Thanks queen

[@traderghost]

If I can take notes like that, I will definitely want to study more. That explains why I have no motivation to read my notes when I was a student :)

[@daikelvin1515]

well said. same here.

[@bunnyvoid9272]

I really love your tip about drawing over diagrams! Personally I don't always like copying diagrams into my notes because the physical act of writing them out helps me remember the info more, but freehanding the designs themselves can be tedious. I never thought to do it like this and it's so helpful!

[@shardemichelcollins8071]

I agree! This tip is game changer

[@romeoaranjon5178]

I was definitely a paper note taker but recently have been moving over to my iPad. With some of these videos I am really thinking of taking the full plunge into just digital note taking.

[@andreeaalbu6406]

when your parents would never buy you an ipad and you don't have enough money but you still watch the video because you love alicia

[@lucaharastasan3536]

andreea albu are you romanian?

[@mr.expert1784]

Luca Harastasan such an random question 😂🤣

[@marinecatelan636]

This is sooooo me! lmao I'm looking for a summer job JUST to buy an IPad T_T (even though i'm still not sure if I will use it for digital notes...)

[@drgrasshopper9924]

😭 I want an iPad 😭

[@kellsliving3220]

where do you get the diagram

[@zahwachairunisa4832]

Ok i tried to take pretty notes like a lot of videos here but i forgot im a mechanical engineering student. I hardly wrote words(?), if that makes sense. But then again, im glad i followed to make this sort of notes. I realized taking notes are important, useful, it doesn't matter if the end result isn't as pretty or as you hoped to be. In the end, you studied well and you organized your mind well. Thank you💙💙💙💙💙

[@dominiquebolt695]

Thank you so much, I am a first year nursing student and I have found the iPad along with GoodNotes so much easier than carrying around paper and books. Good luck with your future studies. You have a new subscriber ☺️

[@user-jq6fj3si8k]

Hey. I do not speak English very well, but I consider you the best bloggers to study with me💗

[@igorbolev1553]

Your notes are like comics book. You can sell them after finishing studies. So nicely done. Keep it up!

[@japanedk8294]

It’s really helpful for me because I speak french as a first language and I came in US so note like that perfect

[@ohhquxxn2243]

this video is by far the best and most informative video about studying with your ipad/good notes! i‘m so excited to receive my ipad this wednesday and I‘ll definitely try out ALL of your tips! Thank you so much 💕🙏🏻

[@heidikim4171]

How to do with table and how to do hand-written images are so awesome tips! Will try it on my notes as well. Appreciated it.

[@meganfontenot1652]

I'm just getting into learning to take digital notes and this as been super helpful! thanks for all the great tips!

[@melindagoh739]

I have really gotten into digital notes because of the perks of erasing and moving things around plus saving paper. This video was so helpful because I actl bought GoodNotes 5 thanks to ur constant praise and wasn’t really getting the hang of organizing my digital notes so this was really helpful. I have to say tho I really regret buying the normal iPad over the iPad Pro because the one I have is the last gen of iPads that aren’t compatible with the Apple Pencil:(( I have an adonit stylus though which is a great stylus but doesn’t really work as well with the palm rejection

[@raed5328]

That was so beautiful and artistic. It defiantly helps.. not only for studying but any type of note taking. Thank you!

[@hannahjoy5267]

I love all your videos!! Ur notes are soo neat and you have helped me sooo much by showing me how to be organised and how to effectively study.

Your Video was SUPER helpful. I love tablets. I've been loyal to the Samsung tablets since 2015. However, I got curious and purchased an iPad Pro. This is the Best tablet ever and Good-notes 5 has made my experience even better. Thank you for your help.

[@Jlexerama]

Thanks for the tips. I never thought about drawing over an image and then removing the image to keep my drawing but I'll definitely add that (and some of the other tips) to my bag of tricks. Thanks again for the great video

Your notes are goals.

Besides your notes.. your accent is so cute!

Thanks for the video this really helped me a lot. I just got my first I pad with pen

[@taniamubaslat4080]

Thank you for this video! It really helped me with organising my notes, as they used to look messy and cluttered. Can you do an iPad calligraphy video? I have tried many in the past but when I try out cursive writing it looks unstreamlined. Your channel has saved my life!

[@mercedesozuna7124]

Great video - lots of great tips and you get to the point quickly. I did have to slowdown playback to grasp the demo on some of the last tips, as it moved a bit too fast for my brain, but I’d rather do that than sit through fluff. Great job.

[@officialkeith]

Wow im amazed u have so much time drawing stuff. I cant imagine doing this while studying lol. Goodluck

[@kimberleyjackson-brown8037]

FANTASTIC!!!! I am going back to school and this was very helpful!

[@nev6086]

As much as Paperlike is the most used matte protector, it actually tore down the tip of Pencil (and I hardly even press on it). I don't recommend it. It happened in just a wonderful three weeks. It's also overpriced... I recommend ELECOM instead. It actually works pretty well and available in Amazon.

[@colorpalette3986]

Nivedha S. Krishnaraj that’s true

[@MeganMichelleTimeLapses]

Amazing video! It’s so aesthetically pleasing😍 can I do this on the iPad air too?

[@LazyAwesomeDad]

Love this video ... thank you so much for sharing these tips

[@dvanremortel]

Alicia, just found your video. I'm an IT professional of 30+ years and wow your video really showed me some amazing new ways to utilize the iPad. I saw you have the 11 inch. Any preference over the 11 or 12? I'm starting a new online course tomorrow and will definitely use the iPad for my notes. All the best !!?

[@vectorm3832]

U don’t need to tap the flat side btw. U can double tap anywhere

I have Notability and Goodnotes and prefer Goodnotes to writing on so much more don't know why but my writing is way better. I use Notability for my lectures and organise them in there which works for me better

[@sddoumbia]

Great job Alicia!

[@CrossFitwarriorr]

Dear you are so great and I am going to buy new iPad Pro ! Just need to understand how you capture the screen same time when you are drawing! Please guide me thank you 🙏

[@studycollab]

You can go into control centre settings and click on “screen record”. Then when you drag the control centre down it should be an option to record the screen. It looks like a circle ⭕️ !

[@CrossFitwarriorr]

studycollab: alicia thank you so much 😊! So sweet of you ! I got emotional to see you replied very quickly! Thanks god you are not in Taiwan 🇹🇼 otherwise I surely purpose you !! By the thank you again

[@CrossFitwarriorr]

[@lydiabyrd972]

Hi! FYI I love watching your videos on the iPad about note taking! I do have a question... do you know of an app for the iPad Pro that could convert my own handwriting into “prettier” (lol) handwriting as I am writing? I have goodnotes; however, I don’t like the look of my own handwriting. So I am looking for an app or a way to convert my own when I write with an Apple Pencil into either calligraphy or another cute font, if that makes sense! I thought I would ask you because you seem to be an expert! Thank you!

[@biancabsb6368]

I’m also interested. Did you find out?

[@robertwade8836]

Thank you, This has been the most helpful video on this subject yet. Can you please advise the best way to get a contents page that will export to PDF correctly.

how do you all write the same? its litterly the same font.

[@amity6741]

Hello, Great video! I do have a question or two. Do you use GoodNotes during class or afterward? Also, is it less time-consuming to write on GoodNotes or type? I just got an iPad and GoodNotes for school for the first time. Have a great day!

[@gioyagioya4923]

wow! Such an amazing video!

[@larigleite]

Thank you for the tips!!!

[@Doctor_SKM]

Awesome notes, but taking notes slowly will take almost triple time to complete single topic .How do you manage time or how do you maintain good handwriting while writing in speed ? Can you make a video on it plz ?

[@Singleosteocyte]

Pretty sure you should just practice your handwriting. I promise you I have and its gotten better

[@cinsday]

Love these vids so much I made my own study channel too💕

[@JPDC624]

Great vid. I use GoodNotes too, wish they had a Shape Fill feature. Or even Selection Fill. When writing text, what point size do you use? It seems like the perfect balance of neatness but bold without being too bold, if that makes sense.

[@stargazer2092]

Love every tips in this video! Looking forward to your next one. :)

There is not a I noticeable difference between paper like and a normal matte screen protector from Amazon,I got a pack of 3 for my iPad 8th gen for 6.99,

Going into college in a couple months. I have a Mac but I seen a lot of iPad note taking and it seems 10x easier. Does this work on a mini iPad?

[@gomathyhariharan4490]

Regarding note taking in good notes5 /notability I have a doubt. Major updation like adding points ( handwritten & text) between handwritten notes in later days & adding pages

[@kimjeyong2474]

Tip for Good Notes Users who want the Recording functionality from Notability: Just download an Audio recording app that also records when you are in another App. Works for me and I can archive the Audio files way better.

[@jasonchen9704]

But actually I think the paper like protector might decrease the clarity of the screen

[@sbatbe9518]

Jason Chan it does but so much better than writing on glass

[@GabrielSilva-wv2if]

It does a little, but the feeling is worth it I’d say

[@Jacob-ep7te]

Can someone please tell me how the highlighter tool works. Sometimes it’s infront of my writing and sometimes it’s behind and no one is explaining why 😫😂

[@scott1414]

To be honest about the paperlike product, I tried it over a year ago and no matter how well I cleaned the iPad Pro display with the supplied cleaning items, after applying the paperlike, there would always be some debris that became evident under the paperlike. It was very distracting, so I removed it and applied the second paperlike that came with the kit with the same results. I contacted the company and they very quickly replaced my kit with a new one which also contained 2 paperlike protectors but both of them yielded the same results. So I gave up while thinking that I was doing something wrong and just could not get the iPad display clean enough for a perfect application. So for me, that was 2 kits waisted and thrown in the trash. I still think the product is a fantastic idea, but I must be doing something wrong. Yikes!

[@shnishapornsuttijunya7266]

For the first point, when you take a screenshot, you can also click copy instead of save image and paste it in the other document with the clipping tool. That way you won’t need to delete all the diagram later in camera roll. 😁😁

[@studycollab]

yes I agree! However I just store them in my camera roll so when I’m in the lecture it’s all ready and I don’t have to do it one by one each time 😊😊
