The rising trend of getting an iPad has left many students to wonder: What exactly is possible with an iPad? This technology has various uses that will enable an easier and more organized life. It has obvious capabilities like being able to watch shows or window shop, but with the innovative technology it now has, an iPad is a tool.
When first opening an iPad, the device comes with default features and apps. I would recommend going on Pinterest and finding an aesthetic that you personally enjoy and setting it up as your lock and home screen. To continue the customization, find additional photos that fit that same color scheme and make them your apps. Apps such as Widgetsmith and Shortcuts are great for decorating your iPad to your desire.
In addition to the iPad, I would recommend getting an Apple Pencil that will enable you to take notes. Many students recommend apps like GoodNotes, Notability, CollaNote, Noteful, and more. Students who take various classes that are note-heavy should consider investing in the lifetime version of GoodNotes, since they offer a variety of features that will make note-taking easier. For one, you will not have to carry multiple notebooks that will ultimately wear down your back from the weight and space they take up in your bag. Also, GoodNotes offers math AI to help with math equations and notes, a handwriting corrector, spell-check, hundreds of shades for markers, pens, and highlighters, and more. For organizational purposes, Notion is the best to set your finances straight. Users find it difficult to use, but with a little bit of time and the right tutorial, Notion can become a cakewalk.
Furthermore, as a downtime activity, mobile games on are the way to go. Some games to relax are Animal Restaurant, Hogwarts Mystery, Snoopy’s Town, Township, Minecraft, and Terraria. These games are based on another world. Meanwhile, more high-energy games include Cooking Fever, Airplane Chefs, and Block Blast. Although they can raise your stress levels, they help with hand-eye coordination and overall serve as a fun, rewarding activity.
You can also plan your dream life. Vision boards, goal lists, and personal shopping can all be done through your iPad. You can get an idea from TikTok, find it on Pinterest, customize it onto your vision board on GoodNotes, and purchase it on Amazon. Similar to your phone, it is all just a fingertip away, but bigger and more visible.
The iPad is a versatile tool that can enhance various aspects of life, from academic pursuits and organizational tasks to entertainment and personal goals. With the right apps and accessories, students can transform their iPads into devices that make their lives easier.
