Key's quick tips are provided by Kelly Key, Assistive Technology Coordinator for Barrington 220.
This month, I am sharing 2 features in Notability that you may not know about that could be very beneficial for some of your students!
Take a Picture of a Worksheet and Complete It in Notability with Ease
If a student struggles with handwriting or spelling on worksheets or workbook tasks, they can easily take a picture of the assignment and complete it using Notability. This allows them to utilize additional assistive technology (AT) tools, such as the Co:Writer keyboard add-on or voice typing, for extra support. Watch this quick demo video to see how simple it is! Note: If the scan button isn’t visible, please update your app in Self Service.
Record the Audio of a Lecture while Taking Notes
Students can use Notability to record audio during a lecture, which is then synced to the notes they type, write, or draw in the app. By tapping anywhere in their notes, they can instantly hear what was said at that moment in the lecture. This feature makes it easy to review and explore notes throughout the semester.
Important: Discuss usage guidelines with students beforehand, such as only recording lectures (not class discussions) and starting/stopping recordings only when instructed. Note that the transcription feature is currently available only in the premium version. However, this feature will soon be included for free in the Notes app when our iPads are upgraded to the next version (see the second video for details)!
