my college counselor said something about how most students are going paperless which means they arent taking notes in a notebook anymore but are only using a laptop or an ipad. I loked it up and you can get an ipad and an apple pencil and then just use an app to take all of your notes. I am thinking about doing this bc it seems like an easier way to d it! Plus i wouldnt have to carry around a bunch of notebooks.
has anyone else done this & how is it going? if not do you recommend just taking notes by hand in a regular notebook?

thank you!
I am not a student but I've switched completely over to an iPad pro for all my meetings and note taking. If you get the latest version of iPad, you can use the apple pencil.
Our daughter tried it and found the technology just not quite there yet for her courses, primarily STEM. She went back to paper.
Agreed. My daughter is 19 and in her second year at community college. Her focus is also STEM. She's a tech-savvy as most of her generation, but she still uses paper notebooks to take notes for her classes and particularly to work out mathematics and chemistry problems. However, she writes essays on the laptop, and many teachers require that they be submitted that way.

Me too. I find it much easier to organize. I hand write everything in the GoodNotes app.

Without the iPad pencil, I was still opting for the old fashion notepad and even my laptops going to meetings. With the pencil, that's all I use these days. On the occasion when I do have to type, I use the portable keyboard. If I need to access any applications, I just use remote desktop to the laptop at my desk.
iPad can record audio/video along with notes, not that people didn't use tape recorder before
I couldn't take notes on a single screen, I spread my notes out and reorganize them as I study. the class material order may not be the best order for learning, hard to rip a page out of an iPad and put it else where. yes, you might be able to move the page, but it isn't the same. can't see multiple pages at once to take a note either on two or three pages at once to "sort" lists onto different pages.
taking notes is fine for iPad if you only note take linearly, but people don't learn that way. good for meetings though because those are mostly talking points, not learning new stuff
