iPad saves paper w/ iAnnotateand some fieldwork app ideas Evelyn Ho Sept 21, 2010
iAnnotate • Originally used as a way to avoid printing pdf copies of journal articles • Currently have 739 pdfs • I primarily use for: • Highlighting journal articles • Not bringing paper to class • Avoiding large docs like conference programs • Take some notes, but also still use Endnote
iAnnotate for professors + easy wireless file transfer + keeps a clean copy and saves an annotated file + easy to use - nice tagging function + great for research reading/annotating • have to be sure to use text recognized pdfs • annotations emailed to others are clunky • still kills your eyes to read • don’t like reading on MUNI with my iPad
iAnnotate for students • This would be great! Students could download notes (if professors do that) and take notes on the slides • No need to print all class articles and they’d always have them in class • Could read professor’s annotations of drafts beyond Word’s track and ACCEPT ALL changes
Other uses of the iPad especially for fieldwork • AudioNote ($4.99) • Audio records while you type for synced note-taking - could ease transcription time • Audio recording is primarily for note-backup (could be good for students, clunky for fieldwork. It stops every page you flip in typing) • AudioMemos (free) & iTalk (lite is free) - but none of these will be as discreet as an iPhone or other small recording device • However, audio quality is very good!
Other Teaching applications • Teaching? iPad/iTunes library - could be good for storing audio/video files… but all of this could be embedded in PPT too • Have used the iPad for impromptu looking up stats, history, related videos, websites, etc. Nice for supplemental resources in real-time • Allows you to teach without prepping everything and allowing the flow of conversation to take you somewhere • Make quick changes to BB as they are relevant (reminders)
