Instaweb is an app for the iPad that will convert any website or article to PDF quickly and easily. The app also allows you to take your newly created PDF and move it to another app, such as eBackpack, Google Drive, Notability, Evernote, and more!
When you open Instaweb, you are immediately taken to the Google search page. In the search bar, type in the website you would like to convert. For example, you can search for Fox News, CNN, etc. For language arts teachers, this also works with Inspire Databases. When a research article is only available in HTML full text and not PDF, you can create your own PDF.
Once you are on the webpage you want, tap in the lower left hand corner on the set of horizontal lines. This will clean the webpage up and remove ads and other clutter from the page. Next, tap on PDF in the lower right hand corner. To get to your newly created document, tap on Files at the bottom of the screen. Now, when you tap on the PDF you want, you can choose to move the file by tapping on the sharing icon (the box with the arrow up).
If you want to organize your PDFs within the app, you can create folders! While on your Files page, tap on My PDFs. Now, tap on "Tap to add a new folder." Name your folder. If you have some files you'd like to move to a folder, swipe from right to left next to the file. Tap on the folder icon. Tap on your PDF file, and then tap on the folder in which you'd like your PDF to be saved.
Instaweb is a great tool to use while gathering materials for students and lessons! If you didn't grab this awesome app while it was free, email me, Angie Smith, and I will arrange to get it for you!
