Notability is an app that I was introduced to through a social media post. A teacher that I follow posted about this app and how she used it in her class to have students label a picture of an edible cell they created during science. I was instantly interested in checking this app out to see what it is all about. Unfortunately it costs $9.99, so everything I learned about it was from the information provided under the description from Apple.
This app allows users to upload documents, PowerPoint presentations, and PDF documents. Webpages from the internet can even be retrieved and written on through a feature called Share Extension. On the pages uploaded you have the option to sketch, write notes, or highlight information. The app also has a feature that connects notes and recordings together. This way when you go back through a lecture you recorded, you are able to hear what was said as well as see the notes you took. All notes that are recorded using this app can be shared in a variety of ways. Such ways include email, Twitter, Dropbox, and Google Drive.
This is definitely a unique app that although costs money, could be a good investment if you found something you could continually use it for in the classroom.
