Hey - My Information Systems professor just played this video in class. I thought that would be cool to let you know.
she needs to see this :D
High school student here, just asking, what is information systems?
@@PxstelMorgxn I.T stuff
That is actually so dope
That's so cool!
Tip for writing notes: when writing think that these notes is someone else’s paper you are writing on. It helps me think “if someone else is reading this. They should understand what happened”
🤯🤯🤯
I usually do stuff (not only take notes lol) thinking of my future self. Like, “oh, I hate doing this assignment, but my future self is going to appreciate having a free weekend”. It helps me get shit done, and it makes me appreciate myself more.
:0
Thank you!
I'm actually the opposite, all my notes are very condensed and I take a lot of 'shortcuts' when I'm writing them down, to the point where my friends always have to ask me what it means. But I understand it and since all the information is in the shortest form possible, it's easier for me to remember.
Rawan Awkal i do that too lmfao
Caitlin: "Go paperless with notetaking, it saves paper and ink"
Also Caitlin: *Buys all the notebooks and pens*
I'm the same so I support you no matter what.
PinkKittyMusic literally me 😂😂😂
I am obsessed with all things stationary. I still buy pens and note books :|
i’m a stationary addict. i can’t not have at least one journal to write in with all of my stationary supplies. 😂
I mean school uses so much more paper
@@SA-uj2gx I KNOW RIGHT!!!!! My school only prints single-sided paper (tech issue, plah), and sometimes when it comes to SAT mock exams, mother of ga that takes A LOT
*Uses an iPad / laptop for notes*
My high school: yOuR eLeCtRoNiCs ShOuLd Be OfF aNd AwAy In YoUr LoCkEr
Me: Well back to the papers
Madi is tumbling well you always have college LMAO
So TRUE! IDK which institutes allow THIS?! 😂
Not to mention school/college lockers are not THE BEST lockers xp
Hey! In our college too! Like the hell do we always need papers?!
this is def about taking notes in US universities.
The only problem now is: where do I find money to buy an iPad pro + pencil?
Edoardo Vitella A 6th generation (or 2018) ipad is a cheaper alternative to the ipad pro. Of course, it’s not as advanced as the ipad pro but you get most of the good features. Also, you can look into buying a used ipad/pencil to save money.
I found the 2nd newest iPad Pro for $599 usd but, the older ones work the same!
@@BasmaWhyou don't need the pro just for note taking, it's too expensive... they sell the iPad 2018 for 250 in staples!
Also, apple gives small discounts for students
I think the new iPad 2019 is affordable with a stylus not the apple pencil 😅
I just bought an iPad 10.2 inch with an apple pen for $580 CAD. That's with the student discount thought, but also the apple store has "refurbished" ipads that are cheaper. I don't think the pro gives an extreme advantage over just the normal iPad
I'm going to buy an ipad Pro.
But first
lemme ask my dad
Go for a Surface Pro 6 instead. Way better!
@@TheRadLion really? What's the difference? I don't know very much about these things :D
@@skylathomson2909 suface go 6 is a full fledged computer since it has Windows 10. If you already have a laptop you can use the Surface Go (different product) as a second display and a digital note-taking device on the go. If you want additional information on the Surface Go 6,you can watch Dave 2D's review on it.
@@twinkshoplifter whaaat thats awesome. I will definitely think about it. Thank uu
The Lion no its not, I had it and it was absolute garbage, the ipad is definitely better. I need to sell my surface lol
Printing out the pictures she took in class is next level since almost everyone never looks at that picture ever again 😂 Talk about elite note taking
Also very stupid
In my science classes, I would take pics of the example slides, then put the picture in my notes & write down how to do them right under the pic. Super helpful.
Nick Yi I do the same. Just do it right after class so you remember
Bruh i used to do this back in senior high. I was too lazy to write them down. Such a waste of ink and paper tho
Caitlin: Doesnt have to pinterest worthy notes
5mins later: Shows us an example of pinterest worthy notes
*no hate*
WOW this is amazing and I wish I was in school just to take digital notes but I think I can apply this to my regular day to day job instead :) Thanks for all the tips Caits xo
Thanks cuz xoxo 😍❤️ oh absolutely-I’m still using these tips for work now !
May be you can start digital planning now :)
same im 24 now, all my cool shcool and university days are over but i still use these for planning, ideas, stuff to remember to use in my designs etc. no matter what, taking notes is really motivational as for me i can capture the essence and the motivation i had at that time in a fun way that i can always use it later on and get stuff done.
And for someone like me who always keep forgetting, everything i learn, everything i wanted to do, i just forget, i have a goldfish brain, so this really helps to remember and keep coming back to check on stuff i once did or wanted to do lol.
I voice record the teachers that talk fast and when I get home I put the lecture in notes form
thats tough
same
How does that sound yeah yeah harder harder please don’t stop
x y ok
My Uni has a policy against that because it’s apparently copyright infringement or something. Wild.
"Professors that talk really fast"
My econs lecturer was a beast, 1.5hr class and she finishes it in 30 mins
basically, I could barely take down any notes during her class
I had a lecturer for my Spectroscopy module (Chem degree) who, the first lecture we had with her, showed us the feedback she'd received from the two previous years. At the end of the semester, students have to submit anonymous feedback for lecturers and their teaching. She got a top score for the content, but a really low score for lecture flow. She showed us on the slide that most of her feedback was "moves on too fast, can't take notes quick enough and gain an understand the material at the same time". I thought she was going to say "I'm taking this on board and slowing down a bit for this module". No, she showed us all this and then said "well, this is MY lecture, so if you can't keep up, tough". So basically, HUNDREDS of students over MANY years have told her that she goes WAY too fast, and doesn't explain or answer questions (this is compared to all other lecturers they've had for the semester) and she thought that the problem wasn't with her, it was with the other hundreds of people. Needless to say, her module was consistently the one people had their lowest mark on.
dam. my teachers all ask if we’re done and if we ain’t they wait a minute or two and ask until the majority answer is yes. if it takes too long they just move on and put the powerpoint on google classroom
I started writing in cursive in college just so I could take notes faster. And they say cursive isn’t useful anymore
@@EyeconicLaura omg this! Yep at one point I went back to my blue ink fountain pen (French school TM) just because it glides over the paper so much faster. The price is horribly inky hands though
BEAST LMAO
dude, this video made me feel so poor lmao
xD same
Heck yeah lol
i feel u haha
Don't worry I have the solution you can use a drawing tablet with xournal way better than OneNote. I have a $300 laptop and a $33 drawing tablet
OMG WHAT THE HECK?? I've been LOVING Goodnotes but I totally switched to OneNote just because it makes me able to see all my stuff on all my devices.. and only through your video did I realize, that I could just EXPORT my pages to OneNote once I finish them??!?!?
Where was my brain the last 1 year??
Thank you so much for this video!! I really loved it haha💞
An Additional tip I didn't see you mention is you can also "print" your teachers handouts/readings/powerpoints into onenote. I definitely have done that on more than one occasion to take notes on the side of it
Pls how do you do it
@@leonorawilliams9440 In your print screen, where you chose which printer you want to use, chose "OneNote2016" is may be different on your system but that'e the general idea of how to print handouts into one note
@@leonorawilliams9440 Another way to do it is ti make sure the file is in pdf form, and then just drag the file into onenote, and you can select yes to the "Insert this pdf" message that pops up
I think this a great feature. I just never use it cuz I don’t like how they insert it as images and make every slide super huge
I just traded in my older iPad Air in to get some credit to go towards the newest iPad Air/Pencil so I could go digital this semester. Best. Investment. Ever. I wish I had done this sooner!
Oh smart ! Yeah it’s a game changer 🙈😍
Me too but this semester I did not take any notes digitally, only for revision... and I wish I would have worked more with my ipad because it really is amazing!!!
I'm also doing the same!! I'm selling my old iPad air to buy a newer one with apple pencil support. Let's see how do I do becoming paperless this semester! I'm really excited about it!!
How much trade in value for an iPad Air 2 128 gigs?
@@prez2451 if you go to the website www.apple.com/shop/trade-in and scroll down a little bit to where it says "Select your device to get a trade-in estimate" it'll tell you exactly how much you'll get back. You just have to answer a couple basic questions regarding the condition it is in and the serial number of the iPad. I can already tell you it's not going to be much. I think I got back $120ish to go towards buying the newer iPad Air and an apple pencil, but every little bit counts! Hope this helps!
I am a returning mature student and I just want to say a huge THANK YOU for posting this extremely helpful video! I am taking online courses to finish a major and just feel overwhelmed with figuring out the best route for note taking, organizing etc. I am not in a position to buy the iPad pro yet but the more i watch/read, it seems like this is the way to go. I may settle on the low-end wacom writing tablet for $100 in the meantime, though I know it won't be ideal. Thanks again!
This video is RIGHT ON TIME! I purchased a 2019 iPad Air last week for school because I am UTTERLY SICK AND TIRED of purchasing paper, pens, textbooks, etc. and having to lug it around year after year! I’ve been binging on digital note videos!!
Also, I was able to score a SWEET DEAL on a 10.5 Smart Keyboard in case anyone is in the market. I purchased this bad boy for $47.50 today at Target!!! That’s 70% off! I live in the New England area. Hope everyone has a great and productive school year!!
Oh wow! Perfect timing indeed (and a fabulous deal)!! Good luck with your digital note taking journey 🥰
Love how your profile picture has the right expression :D
Kiyoncé Kartier ENGLAND?!
BRUH OKAY-
AlishaAnimations * theres no deals like that anywhere, i live in england lmao
@@alishaanimations3058 New England lol
I like the idea of saving paper and just having an overall convenient means of having my information BUT I remember better when I write my notes. I've tried using a tablet and pen but it just wasn't the same.
Azia S There is actual research that shows the act of writing actually helps people remember information better.
Paperlike or the cheaper brands. Maybe you dont use apple pencil and iPad Pro esp Goodnotes app or any other tablet with 9ms latency
My iPad Pro was an amazing tool for calculus. No more heaps of paper with solved exercises to look through. Also no more eraser droppings after making mistakes.
Before coming to Canada, I knew that I wanted to be a paperless guy because carrying around notebooks is hard. After you are done school and you wanna check your lecture notes, it is difficult to look for your notebook, so my solution was to buy from my country a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8 with S Pen. It is not the greatest one but it did a pretty nice job and helped me a lot taking my notes, in regards to what app did I use, I used Microsoft one note, which let me access to them on any device (other tablets, laptop or cellphone). I really liked your video explaining this to me, however, this note digital taking became popular latest 2019 and I arrived here in 2018, at that moment was more difficult to find videos like this one explaining and showing note tips.
By the way, I studied at Conestoga College :)
I'm in high school and i've slowly digitalized my notes this last semester and honestly I love it. I use OneNote and what might be weird is that i write my notes down in class like a normally would and then type them up on OneNote. I love how clean and easy-to read my notes are and by both writing and typing my notes I remember them better. The reason I don't just type my notes in class is because one I don't type that fast and two some classes have a lot of diagrams and it takes a lot of time to draw them in class while trying to keep up with what the teacher is saying. So I'm wondering if investing in an Ipad Pro is worth it and if going completely digital is a good idea? Yes I know it depends on what works best for me but i wanted to see what worked for others before I go buy something I might not need.
Emaan Rana i switched to digital notes on my ipad this past year and i LOVED it
This was really really helpful because I never knew like what to do and how to format notes. Whether it’s online or not and it’s just helps me get a good understanding of how to take “good notes”. 😊
OneNote has page templates for business, academic, planners, decorative, etc., under the Insert tab, so you can set your page to 8.5x11. Remove the Page Title under the View tab. You're also able to select the color and size of your pen and lasso your text. One feature that would be nice to have is the zoom that GoodNotes has.
No you can't insert say a A4 page. It will show up as a picture inside of your original page. It doesn't have the ability to insert templates and has other so many issues.
@@MrGarg10may In OneNote on Windows Desktop you can set the page size to A4 or literally any other size you want, because you can set the actual size (or choose a preset size, like A4). You can import a PDF into OneNote but you're right that it sets it as an image rather than an actual PDF. You can create your own templates with anything and everything you put on a page, which I've done to create a gratitude journal with custom borders for each section, or put my company logo as a header.
OneNote, Office Lens and Word Mobile and Nuten saved my life in university. I started digital note taking on an Asus VivoTab TF810C using OneNote and the included Wacom Penabled stylus on Windows 8, then I downsized to an Asus VivoTab Note 8 for a faster Atom processor and migrated the stylus from my previous Asus tablet because it had an eraser and felt less flimsy than the bundled stylus with the Note 8. I quickly outgrew the Note 8 (even though I bought several on eBay for less than $60), but it was convenient to have three, one with a digital textbook in PDF, one for notes, and a third for ancillary searches, plus a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse all in a small tablet sling as the only things I had to carry to school. I’d often use my iPhone to record the lecture, and take pictures of the whiteboard using Office Lens on my phone as well, because I could send them directly to OneNote and mark them up with additional information (a true lifesaver in math classes, and classes where the professor fills the whole span of whiteboards several times during a lecture).
Towards the end of my university career, I sprung for a used Surface Pro 3, and packed along my three atom tablets to serve as extra screens for PDF textbooks (which I could highlight and annotate using the stylus). The Surface Pro 3 actually had enough power to convert handwritten notes to text almost instantly, which is why I upgraded (plus the Wacom stylus devices have a 5/8” dead zone around the margins of the screen where the pen is completely inaccurate, but the nTrig stylus on the Surface Pro 2+ line doesn’t have this failing). Still used Office Lens to take pictures and send them to OneNote.
Most insane use of all of this was a history class where we only had a midterm essay and a final essay to be submitted in writing in a bluebook. We were allowed one, double-sided, 4”x6” note card. So I converted all my handwritten notes to text and organized them in a table in 6pt Arial with a photo of the timeline the professor wrote on 24’ of whiteboard across the bottom. The professor was so impressed with my note card after the final (it stood out having been printed 8”x6”, folded in half, and then laminated), that he asked if I would email him a copy of my notes to use as lecture notes for the next quarter (which was easy since all I had to do was export my OneNote binder as a PDF and attach it to an email).
I also made heavy use of Word Mobile on my iPhone to write papers for my classes, since I could sit on the lawn, bus, or while walking around while typing on my phone. I wrote dozens of research papers in this fashion while swapping between my OneNote app and my Word Mobile app. Using the Share function it’s easy to send entire web pages or PDFs to OneNote which works similarly to Print To OneNote on Windows or Mac OS, with the added benefit of having a link automatically included on the bottom of the page (perfect for bibliographic entries at the end of the paper).
I also used Nuten, which is a scientific and mathematical keyboard that exports to your Camera Roll as a PNG that you can embed into Word documents, a lot for chemistry and physics reports in collaboration with other students in my group because it was more convenient for me to properly format equations.
In actuality, if a student only had an iPhone, and could type decently fast one the keyboard, installing Office Lens, OneNote, Word Mobile, Acrobat Reader DC, and Nuten would be sufficient to take good lecture notes, carry PDFs of textbooks (and highlight and annotate them), do research (and organize it in a virtual binder in OneNote), and write papers (and format them properly), as long as they had a decent data plan. Adding an inexpensive fine-point active stylus could even bring handwriting into the mix. Plus I’d also suggest adding Voice Notes app to the mix and a decent Bluetooth headset to place closer to the podium for better sound quality for recording lectures. I’ve even taken things one step further and written Wolfram notebooks for Calculus on my phone using the Wolfram Cloud app complete with plots of mathematical functions and their derivatives. And used the PowerPoint app, my Lightning to HDMI output adapter (also great for watching Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video from my iPhone via the projector and speakers in empty classrooms), and my Apple Watch as a presentation remote for presentations in communications classes (complete with virtual laser pointer via the phone screen).
Oh, and as far as PDF copies of textbooks are concerned, there is usually no “legal” way to obtain one that I know of, I’ve bought digital textbooks from the company, and they’re usually tied to locked down app with crappy DRM that needs to phone home to the mothership every time you load the textbook in order to make sure you have permission to use it, which is completely shitty for something that costs as much as a physical copy of the textbook.
My usual workaround is to email the professor before the start of the quarter to see what previous versions of the textbook are acceptable (which is quite often the case, since textbook companies often roll-in the errata from the previous edition into the new one, reorder some chapters, and give the textbook a new styling and cover, then slap on a hefty price tag), buy a used textbook online ( I use bookfinder4u.com to search for the ISBN of the target textbook and sort the results by price), saw the spine off with my friend’s table saw and scan the entire thing to PDF using the auto document feeder on the scanner at the university library, run the whole thing through OCR, add bookmarks for chapters and headings using an old copy of Acrobat Pro 9 I bought for cheap at Half-Price Books, and I have a “legal” unencumbered by DRM copy of the textbook I can distribute to all of my devices for usually less than $10 and a couple of hours work.
I hole punch the original, slap it in a binder with section dividers, and I can often sell it to an underprepared student on the first day of class for what I paid for it plus a $5 lunch at Little Caesar’s. I get fed, the other student saves money, and we’re both satisfied. Win-win!
Some things I thought I think are worth mentioning:
One Note:
-It supports pressure sensitivity, so your strokes get thicker the more pressure you add. This makes your handwriting ten times better and more paper like
- It also has a really good lasso tool which does exactly what the goodnote lasso tool does.
- You can change your paper type, that means you get lined or boxed pages
-It's really good to import pics and pdfs to write notes on.
About the iPad and apple pencil thing:
- Don't get an iPad Pro, it is super expensive especially for people who won't be using the hell out of it.
- A great alternative is the iPad 6, has exactly half of all the features of the iPad Pro, and it supports Apple Pencil. This makes it really good for people using it for hobbies/studying. Also, it's half the price at $329.
-If you're a college student, Apple has a really good student discount over its products!
dude you had the opportunity to say "note worthy" and you missed it
I got the ipad pro 10.5 in for $450! It’s not crazy expensive and it works wonderfully
My school uses the iPad 6 n ur right it’s pretty good
@@liaharv8161 how so? student discount?
Jen Jiang Nope, I just found a great deal on Ebay, it came with a screen protector and a leather case. Last time I checked there were multiple of these deals on Ebay, you just gotta look hard enough haha
You say you don’t stylise your notes but seriously they look neat and cool. Using OneNote and Notability seems like the perfect fit for me. A lot of my studies include reading research papers. When reading after I got the gist of say a paragraph or a section, i take a screenshot of the same, paste it in OneNote and write what I think about it, simplify the equations/theorems and proofs on the right, that infinite paper really helps my use case, and when I taking notes in class or from an online lecture, Notability really shines through. Sadly neither of them support in built bookmarks or outline of pdfs (yet), so it is a bit heart breaking to go to other apps just to read books. The style I follow with OneNote, an be implemented in LiquidText as well, but I haven’t tried it yet.
i've used my ipad gen 6 (2018), an apple pencil and the onenote app for this last school year i'm a third year uni student and i can honestly say this is hands down the best thing i ever did!, you can insert your slides and write your notes right beside them so you always know what note was made about what point, you can use the split screen feature to have your book on one side and your notes on the other , you can easly rewrite notes to make them more orgnized without the guilt of wasting paper, you can save all the notes you toke from past cources easly, no need to carry pens, books, slides, paper as you can easly replace all of them with the ipad it's really great I LOVE IT only down side tho is you can't use it to upload homework or assignmants to blackboard
I take notes in my iPad Pro 2018 + Apple Pencil in GoodNotes 5, you should try backing your notebooks automatically to OneDrive. It’s pretty useful for multitasking while taking notes since it’s immediate.
Finally here! The video everyone has been waiting for! 💕💕💕💕😍😍😍
If not everyone - then just me! I'm so excited to watch it and sooooo happy that Caitlin finally made one😻 I am so curious what she have for us!
Haha omg I know 😅
I'm so amazed about how far technology has come. Just a shame this wasn't as seamless or possible a few years ago when I was in school. Awesome video!
I could never study from printouts. I had to write them out .
Love this video, no frills or extra "cute-sy" stuff. Just straight to the point. Thank you!
I went back to college last year and my iPad was so helpful, especially around exam time. Plus all my lecturers thought it was really cool
Aww that’s awesome ! 👌🏼😍
You just convinced me i need to get an ipad-pencil. i already got a website for textbooks so 👌🏾
Apple Pencil 😭
XVI iPad and pencil= iPad-pencil 😂
I got an iPad Mini with an Apple Pencil to do my notes, 11/10 experience ^^
Is there enough space to write?
@@majooleonmagnani5246 yeah there's enough space, and since it's the size of a notebook portability is unbeatable, I had mine stolen =(
Emily trade it in and get another
Carlitox b sorry to hear that, losing things (especially tech) is the absolute worst. Hope you’ll be able to save up for a new one!
Emily it would be if it was 2018 or newer
I just switched to digital notes this semester (Microsoft Surface Pro, absolutely love it), and I like to insert the PP slides and take notes alongside them for my science classes because it easier when there are diagrams and stuff that the professor is talking about. For my more culture/foreign language type classes, I think I’m going to go a little more traditional and just take notes without the PP there
Please do a short and small tutorial on how to colour drop in OneNote. I myself do not know and many other people are also asking how you do it.
This has been one of the most useful videos of iPad note taking I've seen. thanx
I got a bonus at my old job last year, and I opted to use it for an iPad and the new Apple Pencil (gen2). It was probably the most expensive indulgence I have ever made, and I was TERRIFIED to use it. I am heavy handed, so the screen was freaking me out some, even though I really liked the options for it.
One of the things I purchased to make my life easier was a screen cover/protector. The one I have is a thicker plastic, but it doesn't affect the use of the screen at all. So if you, like me, are heavy handed and scared of using the screen, invest in a screen protector! I now use my iPad all the time and I am much more confident about using it.
That's also why I have qualms switching to 100% digital. When I was in high school my heavy hand writing left rough textured marks at the back of the page I wrote in
This was so helpful!!! I got an iPad Pro and was planning on using it for taking notes and all the tips and tricks I learned will be super helpful:) thanks
i'm in love with goodnotes
This is a subject that I have been looking into a lot of late. I am well out of school but I wish I had these technologies when I was in school that is for sure. Back then a recorder was my best friend lol. Ths was an awesome video and gives me a lot to think about and a starting point to work my way into going more paperless.
This is absolutely what I needed to answer my question about going paperless and knowing when to use your laptop vs. ipad as I always have struggled to determine this by myself. THANK YOUUUU!!!
I am that person who would totally absolutely love writing notes on ipad at school (cause I always rewrited them again at home to make them more consistent). Sadly it wasn't there ten years ago :D
Rewriting your notes is actually a good thing. It helps you learn better.
I always had problems with getting good handwriting on digital note taking apps. However, I did find that when I went back to paper note taking, my handwriting was waaay better because of me trying to write neatly in OneNote
Going full digital this semester with a new ipad air+stylus. Definitely using this video as a start :D thank you!!
Same here bruh 😆.. i just cant wait my ipad air to arrive😁
You don’t need a hybrid to take both typed notes and handwritten notes! I have an ipad pro (or air i’m not sure lmao) that has an apple pencil so i can take handwritten notes on the app of my choice, but you can purchase a wireless keyboard for your ipad that will also prop it up just like a computer so you don’t need to purchase a hybrid. Make sure you get a good keyboard that won’t cause your ipad to fall or anything while taking notes during class because, well, that would be very embarrassing. I recommend ZAGG ProKeys, it has two options for how you want to angle your ipad, and the keyboard can connect to your ipad wirelessly without bluetooth. The only thing that’s annoying is that it needs to be charged every month or so depending on usage, but it charges fast and you can always check the battery before class. The charger is also the same as an ipad charger which comes in handy in case you loose the charger to the keyboard. ZAGG ProKeys aren’t very cute or aesthetic but I like the sound it makes when I type and you can always paint it if you want the keyboard to look more aesthetically pleasing or fit to what you’d like. Just don’t get a cheap cute one off of amazon.
I just decided to go digital!
Ooooh exciting 🎉
Me too 😍
Google wont always exist, nor should you believe its results arent already curated.... This is why I've kept all my university notes and textbooks. Doesn't take up more then a couple totes and better to be safe then sorry.
There's some information missing from this video. With One Note, while it's an endless document, you can set it to appear like Lined and Graph paper through the 'View' tab. The version of OneNote you're using is the app version, but there is a larger version included with Microsoft Office that offers some additional options. I like OneNote a lot better, bc I can import my professor's PowerPoint presentation slides into the page and take notes directly on them. Since Microsoft created the app, you can import any file/document from some of the Microsoft Office applications.
She is on an iPad , there’s no native support for the full desktop app
What if I don't want an endless page in onenote
I needed a beast and also wanted to be able to take digitla notes. Seeing your vids and ali abdaals almost made me buy an ipad. but Macbook was more bang for buck. I bought the M1 Macbook pro 8/512 gb. FOr digitla note taking for broke high school students like me. Instead of an ipad. Buy a graphics tablet. you stroke the pen ont he tablet and writing is on your computer. It is used by graphics designer and online professionals. I use One Note and love it !. Nice video btw
Starting at U of T in a couple of weeks and this was so useful. Looking forward to making good use of One Note, Goodnote and my iPad Pro! Thanks, Caitlin.
Ive been looking tons of vid comparing Onenote and Goodnotes, which one should I use mainly,
and still not be able to decide, until I watch your vid :D
THANK YOU :D
I always loved taking notes on paper but now that I really need to be sustainable I try to use only recycled paper and looking into digital notetaking as well. Maybe you can address that aspect in your videos too, more people need to be aware of our environmental changes, and this is a really good way to do that! (what you showed in the vid)
Using paper is better for the environment than using digital note taking. Paper can be easily recycled, but keeping your notes on a cloud uses a lot of energy to make the database server work.
You know more people buying ipads is way worse than “chopping down trees”. More ipads = more mining of metals such as cobalt and lithium in developing countries by children trying to earn enough money to get food. Mining ruins environment. Think about all the pollution that it will take to make just the battery of the ipad.
And a lot of paper manufacturers use bamboo. And bamboo grows extremely fast. Also especially in the U.S they take trees down in a sustainable manner so there’s enough time for other trees to grow. Developing countries don’t even care about sustainability.
For budget ones i surely recommend ipad 9 + fake apple pencil
I have it and i swear to god everything works fine, no lags , palm rejection works and u get the feeling of the real apple pencil
The levovo yoga’s are perfect for me since it can be used as a normal laptop or flipped around to be drawn on & comes with a stylus 😌
i just got mine, and it's fantastic!!!
Yes, The Lenovo Yoga 730 (or C930 if your willing to pay for more for looks and new model but same components) is perfect for any college student that would like to do both.
I'm pushing my ipad mini 1 to its edges by buying a non apple pencil (it works on any ipad and is very cheap) and take notes with it with zoom notes. It kinda do the job.
I used the surface pro 4 all through my engineering masters program, and it was perfect. I still have all my notes in one note and accessible from anywhere, even now that I'm using a surface pro 7.I love the tips in your video,looking forward to more.
You can also record yourself on OneNote. This helps if you want to review your notes and your traveling. Play it while your on the go.
I have brought my tablet to class to not only take notes but to also record the lecture. After wards I had write them and add in elements i missed but was able to record. This has saved me!
Your video is sooo "not studygram" and I really love it ❤ just practical tips how to make notes nice but without focusing so much on pretty notes, because the content is most important 👌 thanks 😊
Nice video Caitlin 👍 This really made me want to start using GoodNotes again... I used it years ago when I first tried going paperless. I more recently got into the RocketBook Everlast series (see review on my channel). Have you ever used them? I would be interested in hearing of you have any note-taking tips for the RocketBook ✌️
I want to start to take digital notes.

The girl that does aesthetic titles that sits next to my:
Hold my 500 pens but don’t use them
I've always been one to favor pen+paper notetaking because I felt that digital notetaking would be too bland, but this video really has me considering trying a tablet and stencil considering the customization and easy formatting,thanks!🌟
Lmao tech isnt even allowed in my classes but still watching it
Yikess
Haley Plummer the only thing that keeps from moving onto digital notes
Honestly, this video is MOOD.
I switched to typing my in class notes this semester. I still do all my reading notes by hand but that's mostly because I'm a huge stationery nerd
These tips are going to help me a lot in the new school year. Thanks!!
Actually I use Evernote and Onenote, but I will tried Good Notes
Try* :) tried is past tense, I tried good notes
one thing to note is that if you're stationery lover, and ,one doing notes on paper, you may not 100% adapt and enjoy doing digital notes because it doesn't replace the feeling of paper at all. so its better to go to a store and try out the iPad,or try doing digital notes before you purchase a laptop or an iPad and Apple Pencil. do some research too before deciding.
This video is incredibly well done in structure, aesthetics, content and edition. Thank you very much for your insights.
I went paperless back in January. I think I finally have enough notes to make a video on it lol
I’m starting my PhD program in a week and I can’t wait to go paperless! Your video is absolutely great and helpful!!
Good luck. What is your major?
Kefil Tonouewa thank you. Second language education.
Is it after masters degree (or after graduate)? I’m a foreigner, so I’m not sure
I’m studying for bachelor of law btw
I hope you’re enjoying studying and researching
@@UshankaMaster in US, many PhD programs don't require a masters degree.
i started writing on ipad ... its uncomfortable af
yess fainaly. maybe digital note taking is wayyy easer i will try it maybe it works better. thank youuuu you are helpfull as usual.❤👌😍
Real paper is always my true love, but this is definitely a great route to go for student life 👌🏼 might have to share some more physical note taking tips in a video
I absolutely loved this video but I need to point out that PC means personal computer, so your mac book pro IS A PC. Refer to them as Windows computers or the actual brand of computers. For sure for me I used notebooks for my first couple of years at uni and recently started to do it fully online. Mainly for convenience and because editing is so practical. Id also say use premiere pro, as it's compatible on multiple devices like you say for OneNote. Fantastic stuff tho!
I’m starting college this year and I plan to purchase the iPad 6th gen just because it’s on the cheaper end even though i rather have a pro of course who wouldn’t it works better with my budget because I’m also purchasing a MacBook Air for my typing portion of notes and class work I love to hand write notes so I’m very exited to get my iPad but I’m so nervous to go paperless when it comes to text books do you find it easier to have them online or still hand flip the pages from an actual book? Great video keep up the great work!❤️
I think a hybrid between paper and digital works best for me! :)
Thanks for the video Caitlin
Same :) I download (or purchase from etsy) handwritten (note-taking) fonts that look like a kid or a student's handwriting, my fave free font are Gaegu and Caroni. So I type instead of writing but it still gives the effect of handwriting.
I loved your video on this! I'm looking to pick up a tablet soon so I can start taking handwritten notes in one place instead of 50 notebooks.
Also, not sure if anyone else needs a decent flashcard app, but Anki is a free tool that lets you create flashcards that you can sync across your devices (you can also use drawings, insert pictures, etc). I also really like that it dynamically shows you the material you actually need to learn (i.e. you'll see flashcards you get wrong more often so you can actually learn the material).
I'll get an iPad Pro this week and I'm so excited
I’m going into freshman year and my high school gives us iPads so I’m so grateful for that
Just thought I'd add that, if you're going to have digital notes, then it's best to do so on a tablet or a laptop w/ a touchscreen (e.g chromebook) because typing notes means you're more likely to forget them as it's easier to type than write.
If this is smth that doesn't bother you because you look over your notes often and want the consistently neat notes that typing provides then it's fine but I thought it was best to mention it for those who don't have a large touchscreen device such as an ipad and don't plan on purchasing one.
There’s something about writing on paper. I’m a different generation. 😂
I totally get the paper-love....it’s a different experience 👌🏼 this was my first time ever not doing paper notes because I love my highlighters and pens so much 😂
I have an iPad and I do prefer it because I get annoyed if there is anything wrong in my notes. When I wrote a word wrong i started over again and I think for me it’s better to use an iPad where I can delete everything easily. I think I used a lot of paper which annoyed me 😬🙃🙂
In my case, I study languages, which tablet do you think is good for university? is the cheap iPad enough for a student or should I go with the air? Pro is way too expensive, unfortunately.

You could go to View>Paper size
then customize your desired paper size and then save it as a template.
To make it your default template:
Go to Insert > Page Template > Always use a specific template, and then select the template you just made.
yessss i do the same thing, but i think that she uses onenote for windows 10, wich is another version and doesn´t have that option😔
The airplane autopilot scene was on point!!!!!! Thanks for your humor :-)
Now I wish I had seen a video like this before getting this close (1 week to be precise) to graduate from university...
i wasted so much time at uni taking paper notes and I wish videos like this existed when i was there...
How did you make the outside line of the grey box disappear after you used the shape tool? You didn’t explain it how you basically just shadowed it and I can’t figure it out for the life of me. Please explain 😭😭
BaileyAllie just undo it after you draw the shape. Line will disappear but background colour will retain. But make sure you turn on the FILL COLOUR option first
mahfuzahismail thank you!!!!!
omg. she used a meme called NAZARE TEDESCO hahahaah loved it

Excellent tips! I use OneNote on my iPad but I will now be incorporating Good Notes into my workflow.
That is amazing I wanna use this at work just need to know if i can save as and archive all notes and calculations in that
I used Evernote for years, but now I'm loving OneNote.
@kain seviers shit onenote is free for all platforms now
How do you print your notes if there are no boundaries?
DO you have any tips on good apps where you can import the slides of the lecture but also add your own notes on top as well as include extra slides if you need it? :)

I love the editing of this video so much ❣️❣️❣️
If you don't have money for an ipad (let's be honest, most of us don't) look into drawing tablets, there's some with bluetooth and most you just connect it with a cable, you can get one for like $20 bucks now. Here are some upsides :
- Cheap
- You have everything in one place (laptop or phone)
- Shortcut keys
- Very portable
- Probably won't get stolen
- You don't have to spend like 100 dollars on a stylus or a pencil alone
Why am i watching this... i dont even have one
For those who can't afford an Ipad, Get a Graphics/Drawing tablet!
I recommend Wacom One graphics/drawing tablet, it's only 35.99 on Amazon right now which is really affordable (You don't have to buy one with a screen btw). You can connect a graphics tablet/drawing tablet to your Laptop (Mac/Windows) and handwrite your notes on OneNote/word or any software you want. They take some getting used to, your handwriting might be bad at first but once you do it will be a really great tool.
Also you can use xournal++ for writing is very good better than OneNote
