Post-it Note App for iPad

If you are an avid Post-it note user like me, this free app is for you! The app will allow you to take a picture of a group of Post-it Notes (or generic sticky notes . . . they all work) and create a board with them.You can drag and drop them into any type of order, category, or group.You can add new Post-its to the board (handwritten or typed), and you can rename the board and share it with others! They can then edit their own version of the board. In this way, the boards can be somewhat collaborative in nature. There are so many possibilities with this app!Think of all the ways we use Post-its in our classrooms and in our meetings! Now, we can take those Post -its, use the app to capture them, and have them in an editable, digital format on our iPads. To get started, just go to the app store on your iPad and search for Post-it Plus.

Here are a few tips to get you started:
1. On the main screen that opens in the app, you will choose to Capture a New Board.
2. Your screen will then open your camera. Position the screen so that you can view all of your Post-its.
3. Push and hold on the camera icon at the side of the screen. This will take a photo of the sticky notes.
4. When you are finished, at the bottom of the screen, tap Create Board.  Your Post-its will now be brought onto a digital board.
5. Tap on the board and options will appear above it. You can choose to align your Post-its in different ways. Tap and hold on a Post-it to drag it somewhere else on the board. Tap on a Post-it to enlarge it so you can see it better.
6. In addition to moving the current Post-its, you can also add another Post-it to the board by tapping on the white page with the plus sign next to it in the upper right hand corner of the screen. A new Post-it will appear, and you can change the pen color and Post-it color at the bottom of the screen. If
you tap on the keyboard icon, it will allow you to type on the Post-it. Tap Add in the upper right hand corner when you are finished. Drag the new Post-it wherever you’d like!
7. In the upper right hand corner, you will see an orange camera. Tap on it to take a picture of another collection of Post-its. They will then be added to the same board in a different “group”. You can combine the sticky notes into one group on the board or move notes from one group to another. This
helps to create categories.
8. To rename a group, simply tap on the board. It will turn orange and your options will appear at the top. Tap on Rename Group.
9. To share a board, tap on the box with the arrow up in the upper right hand corner. Tap on Share Board and you can Air Drop or open the board in another app. If you email from this option, recipients will not be able to edit the board. They will receive a PDF version of it to view only. You can choose to save the image to your camera roll here as well. This would allow you to upload the board to eBackpack.
10. If you want to email the board to someone so that they can edit it, when you tap the sharing icon (the box with the arrow up), choose Export Board.  Then, choose the format (Post-it Plus Board Export). Tap on Choose Destination. Next, select mail and email it to the person of your choice.
They will then be able to open and edit the board in the app.

This app is so very helpful to have on your iPad. Now, when your class creates a brainstorming list or you have a chart of Post-its created in a meeting, everyone can have digital, editable version on their iPad!  And you don't have to find a place to store the chart for later use!  It is always available on your iPad!
