• Notability

Notability (for iOS devices) is frequently used in classrooms where iPads are available. It, too, supports
highlighting, annotation, and the insertion of comments into the text, as well as writing directly onto the
document with a finder or stylus (see Figure IV.1.2). Annotated documents can also be shared through
email, Dropbox, and other platforms.

While the resource “How To Use Notability iPad App in Your Classroom” (http://www.dummies.com/
education/ipad-for-classroom/how-to-use-notability-ipad-app-in-your-classroom/) was created for
teachers, it is really useful, as it showcases the functions built into this tool.
