    Lesson Planning & Delivery:
    I use Notability in a variety of ways! It is my “go to” note-taker for many reasons. For example, for lesson planning, I create an interactive calendar in Google Slides and import it into Notability. This way I can pull it up on my phone and/or iPad. I can quickly review my schedule and jot notes about my lesson.

    Review & Assessment:
    I also use this app when students present because I can take notes to assess their presentation while recording it at the same time! This allows me to focus on their content while jotting informative feedback rather than trying to scribe everything they are saying. Again, LOVE this APP and highly recommend it!

    P.S. I find that the iPad pen feature is more pencil-like which I greatly appreciate.
