How I Use It

When our 5th graders went 1-1 iPads a year ago we pushed Notability out to all of them. We are also a Google App school and Notability can be set to synch with Google Drive. I taught all the 5th graders in Lib/tech class how to access the app, customize it to their needs with folders and classes. I also did PD with their teachers who then could reference the app for various classroom uses. I used it to have my 5th graders create an ongoing study guide for my Digital Citizenship class that covered several weeks and ended with a targeted assessment.

My Take

This app just keeps getting better and better. Every update improves the app in ways that are clearly user driven. Always a good sign when a company is responsive. I would like the next improvement to make it cloud based. That is all that is missing for right now.

Notability links with Google Drive for powerful uses in 1-1 ipad classrooms.
