![]() Typing takes the least amount of time so more information can be put on the page and reviewed later. Writing can be time-consuming, especially in a fast lecture. When sharing notes, instead of handing-off the page like you would with paper, you still retain the original notes. People can collaborate on the same document like in Google Docs, or files can be emailed and/or texted quickly. Rather than copying or scanning notes, computers have simple share screens to instantly share with anyone. All these reasons make the computer the device with the best organization options that are fast and easy.Įasy to share. Since the files are digital, there is no physical footprint and the more files or folders you create does not take up more physical space (unlike more notebooks or papers). Files can easily be moved to different areas on the computer. Each file has a name so it is clear what that file is and those names can always be changed. Tags can be applied to files for easy access, sorting, and searching. Limitless folders can be created almost instantly so sorting is as easy as ever. But, due to its fast nature, this method leads to the least amount of information retained and will require you to study more later. Typing is a fast and easy way to take the information presented in lectures and textbooks and consolidate them for reference later. What are the differences between these modalities-typed (computer), digitally handwritten (tablet), or paper? Since technology is much more advanced now than it was even 10 years ago, when taking notes on paper was the most popular method, there are options such as typing notes on a computer, and even writing them on tablets (like paper, but digital). It also produces study materials to refer to later for exams and projects. ![]() With the large amounts of information presented in each course, note-taking helps in encoding the information and thus makes it easier to remember. Almost every student does it, and it is a practical requirement to pass a class. That’s hard to beat for about $30.An important process in studying and learning is note-taking. You can get Rocketbooks in all shapes and sizes, though I used this particular version, which is nicely sized for managing to-do lists and jotting down notes, giving yon enough room to use it every day for a couple of years. The one consumable, of course, is the Frixion pen, which you’ll need to replace like any ordinary pen. There’s no practical limit to how many times you can write, erase and rewrite in your Rocketbook, so each book should last a very long time. Along the way, your notes are also converted to text. When you’re done, you can wipe it away with a damp microfiber cloth-but before you do that, you can use a mobile app to photograph and upload what you’ve written to the cloud storage solution of your choice. It’s a notebook loaded with reusable paper that you write on with a special Frixion pen, and the writing experience is very paper-like. The Rocketbook is by no means a consolation prize, despite the fact that it’s not electronic in any way. Want to know more? Forbes Vetted’s Anthony Karcz wrote an in-depth review of the Remarkable 2. If you pay for the optional $8 per month subscription, you can get handwriting recognition as well, which converts your written notes into text. You can create a virtually unlimited number of notebooks with any number of pages, and everything syncs with the cloud in real time. It's a very authentic writing experience. Need to erase something? Just turn the stylus around and lightly rub it, as if you're using an eraser. The screen can register roughly 4,000 levels of writing pressure and you get a different effect depending on whether you're writing straight up or angling the stylus to get a thicker line. And the interface lets you choose from among a variety of writing styles and ink thicknesses. It feels like paper, too, with a great paper-like grittiness. That means it draws very little power-a single charge is good for weeks-and it looks very much like you're writing on ordinary paper. The magic sauce is that it's an e-ink device, very much like an Amazon Kindle. ![]() ![]() The Remarkable 2 is currently the gold standard for digital notebooks, and is affordable enough that I feel it's a solid choice for anyone who spends a lot of time jotting down notes. ![]()
