App List - Notability
Previous newsletters have provided a copy of the 2021 Stationery and App List for all Year 7 and 8 students. This information has been attached below.
We ask that all parents take a moment to ensure the required applications from the App list have been downloaded onto student iPads. Most specifically, in 2021 we have requested that all students have downloaded on their iPad the 'Notability' app. This app is available for purchase in the Apple Store for $13.99 and is the only app on the list that ensues a cost.
Notability is a note taking application that all students use in each and every lesson for class notes. Students use their Apple Pencil to record notes, annotate thinking, highlight, sketch and many other functions. This app is required to be purchased by the individual's Apple ID to ensure notes taken and information stored within the app remains the intellectual property of the student and easily backs up to the student's iCloud. This purchase also ensures that should a student's device be re-imaged, be updated, or transfer schools, the information retained within Notability follows the student, and does not remain the property of the school.
In Week 2, all students will be trained on the explicit use of Notability. Students will require the application on their device in order to participate in training activities.
