Penultimate for iPad

A friend and colleague introduced me to this stunning App today. She teaches in science and can imagine all kinds of creative uses for it in her subject area. The calligraphy pen is easy to use and replicates handwriting in a smooth, un-cluncky way that makes the App especially easy to use. All the curves of your letters are beautifully formed and everything is completed with your finger-no need for a keyboard!



On Penultimate you can write or draw in a variety of colours on plain, lined or graph paper. Additional paper styles can be purchased from the App store. Pictures can be imported or you can draw your own illustrations. You can share your note books as PDF files or export your notebooks to iTunes. Each notebook is bound in a simple moleskin style leather binding and has a title, the date the notebook was made and the date of the last update.



Also checkout Handwriting for iPod and iPhone another App by Cocoabox that does exactly what you would expect - takes beautiful handwritten notes. I will be adding it to the collection on the Learning Pod devices.
