I want to teach my son to take notes using one of the Note taking Apps available. I watched several Youtube videos on the following apps: Notability, Microsoft Note, and Audio Note. I ended up like Notability and Audio Note.
I learned a lot from these videos. I then took what I learned and applied it. I recently went to the Handwriting Without Teachers seminars and brought my iPad with me. I used notability to take notes and pictures and it was amazing!!!!
I now have the three seminars in my iPad with pictures and notes and sound (shhhh) I wanted to try out the record feature so I did record the seminar. It really works! There is a few second lag between what I wrote and what the presenter is saying, so what I did was I just went 10 seconds back on the recording. Since while she was speaking I was writing, my notes are note exactly in sync with her if that makes sense.
I am hoping to teach both my kids to use this app. My daughter does not have dyslexia but neither did the girl in the video! I think this app will help any student.
For my son, I want to help him as he prepares for high school and college to take notes, but the reality is that he will never write fast enough to be able to take really good notes. This allows him to take minimal notes and record the lecture at the same time. He could even just draw his notes and the sound would still record and allow him to review what notes he did take.
