Hi everyone, I hope you're having a
wonderful week so far.
I had requests to share what is on my
iPad for school,
so let's get started. I love using my
iPad to stay organized
for school and take notes and I like to
keep it very simple.
All I use is my iPad mini and apple
pencil.
I will link the cases for both of them
down below in case you're interested
in getting something similar. And the
apple pencil
is not the newest version. It's one of
the older versions.
I'll put it down below in the box but it
works perfectly well for all of my needs.
So my iPad is an iPad mini and I have
this marble case over it
that can also form a little stand.
This is a background that I just made
really quickly on Canva.
I like to keep it pretty, simple and
minimal.
And the screen protector that I have is
a matte screen protector and it just
helps it make it feel
more like paper when I'm writing which i
really like.
So let's get into it and this
is what my iPad looks like when the
screen is turned on.
I have this background that says, "enjoy
the little things" that I got from
Pinterest.
And again, I like to keep it really
minimal and not have apps scattered
all throughout everywhere. You can see
that I only have the one page of apps
and I like it organized that way and
anytime I notice that there is an
app that is not organized, I try to put
it away
right away. Like I just did with the
Canva app. And
some of the apps that I use more
frequently, I just leave them out
permanently.
This is the YouTube folder so here I
just have
the YouTube icon, google drive,
gmail, my canon app and Pinterest,
little things like that that I use for
my YouTube. And then I have a random
folder with apps that I don't really use
too frequently. But there are some
important things like the calculator
and voice memos that I do use.
This folder is the one that I will be
focusing on for most of the video.
These are all the apps that I use to
stay organized, productive and note take,
as well as study. So just a brief
overview of some of them.
I have some school apps in there, an
anatomy app for
learning about the ear and IPA phonetic
apps. Let's
jump into word, which I don't use too
often. But I have it here just in case I
need to work on
a paper for some reason, if I don't have
access to my phone or computer.
You can use Microsoft Word on your iPad
as well.
You can use the Microsoft Word app to
take notes if you'd like to do it that
way,
or just work on any assignments. The next
app I have-
these are just the instructions to
install it, but this is something that
goes
on your keyboard and it will give you
all of the symbols for the IPA.
So the international phonetic alphabet.
It will give you all the symbols that
you can
utilize if you need to transcribe
something for an assignment
or just practice transcribing words, you
have those symbols.
This app also allows you to practice
your phonetics.
This is in chart form and I just use it
to study
and brush up on - any time I'm trying to
learn phonetics. Another app for
phonetics.
This is basically like "words with
friends" and
you can make words using the IPA symbols.
I don't get to play this as often as I'd
like to,
But if you have some extra time and you
want to brush up on your phonetics, it's
a great app.
The next app that I have, this is anatomy
of the ear.
I believe this one is a paid app but it
was recommended by my professor when I
was taking hearing science so
I went ahead and downloaded it. And I'm
just showing you some different
viewpoints.
But you can see a lot of different
structures in the ear.
It's really detailed, the pictures
are really vivid and you can click on
different parts
of the ear. And it will also
actually give you information if you
click the "show text" button.
And it's a great way to study the inner
ear if you're having trouble
visualizing it or need an extra external
resource
to learn the material for your anatomy
and physiology class.
The next app is the Canvas app. This is
just the app that I used
to access my coursework at Utah State
University.
Usually, we'll have the courses on the
left side right there. I don't have any
right now because I have graduated from
the program.
Um, there is one advising course but
that's not
an actual course. It just gives you any
notifications.
And you can use this app if your school
university
connects with Canvas. It's a really great
app. It will tell you what you have to do,
will show you your calendar,
what assignments are due and when
they're due. And I useD this to stay
organized a lot
when I was doing my bachelor's in
Communication Disorders and Deaf
Education.
The next app that I utilize is the NYU
app, which is the school that I'm
currently attending.
This one, I think, it has just some
administrative
aspects to it. I don't really use it too
much.
But this is the app that I have just
started using for the coursework that I
started in the fall.
And it has my courses that I'm currently
taking.
You can sync it with your calendar. It
will show your meetings if you have any
Zoom meetings.
And again, show your courses, the grades. I
haven't gotten any grade yet because
the program hasn't officially started.
But it will show your progress
in your coursework. So, I use
this to stay on track as well. The next
app is
an app that I absolutely love and helps
me study all the time.
It's Quizlet. It is one of the most
useful study apps that I
found. It's basically digital flashcards.
So you can make folders, you can add
study material that other students have
already created for the course.
You can use many different features.
There's a learn feature, where you just
answer the question um, like a flashcard.
And it will tell you if you're correct
or incorrect. You can do
a test form as well, which I will show
you guys in
one minute. But you can make your own
test as well to learn the material and I
really love this app.
It helps me study for every test. I feel
very
very prepared. So I highly recommend it.
And the last app,
now we're going into note-taking. This is
how I personally note take.
I usually use the PowerPoint slides that
are offered by the teacher
and I add my own notes to it. So
this is the way I have it organized. I
have different folders
for my personal things and then school
as well.
And then, I like to have it organized by
semester
or in this case, program. So this is my
undergrad program.
I only started using this towards the
end
but I have different classes. And then I
organize it either by weeks
or modules. And I
organize it even further when I'm in
there. Just depends on the class and the
material.
I open up the PowerPoint slides, like I
said. And I love to make notes directly
on them.
I don't like to waste time writing down
the things that
are already on the PowerPoint slide. That
just, for me personally, doesn't help me
memorize the material.
But I love to add my own notes. So you
can use
different types of brushes, you can use
different
colors, different widths of the brush,
you can make circles, you can highlight.
It's just a really great app and this is
GoodNotes. I
believe I said that. But this is the GoodNotes
app.
And I know other people use Notability
or OneNote. But this is the app that
I'm comfortable with and I really like
and I would recommend for
note-taking. You can also add pictures if
you have something you found from the
internet
or your textbook and you want to add
into your notes, you have that option
as well. And
yeah, that is how I use GoodNotes. That is
how I organize it. I also use it to study.
So here,
I will make two lists. Like things I know,
things I don't know or here I'm
practicing chronological age.
Or I will even just rewrite lists and
then
erase them and rewrite them and that
helps me memorize them as well before
an exam. So I believe now I'm going to
go to- oh this is my class tracker. So
I also have this on my iPad. I just made
a little
representation of all the classes I have
to finish to graduate and I'm going to
cross them off
once I finish each class. So I have that
in my GoodNotes app as well.
And this is the class that I'm taking
right now. I also have a PDF copy of the
textbook. So I can go through that,
highlight, organize, make notes. And this
class, I have separated by
weeks. So I will have any notes, separate
notes, that I want to take. Like for
example,
this paper right here or I will have,
again, the PowerPoint slides.
And the majority of my notes will be
there. Right now, we're learning about the
scientific method. So,
yep, you can use any pens you want on it
to make your notes.
That is the best way that I have found
to take notes and these are all of the
apps that I use to stay
organized in undergraduate and now,
moving on to graduate school.
I'm really excited to share this video
with you guys. I hope you enjoyed it.
Thank you guys so much for watching and
stick around,
watch some of my other SLP related
videos.
If you're interested in the field of
speech-language pathology
or just anything graduate school related.
And I will see you guys
in my next video next week. Thanks so
much for watching, bye.
