While you can use these on any device and with any app that can edit pdf documents. However, these digital planners are designed for use on a tablet device (eg an iPad) with a stylus pen (eg, Apple Pen).
Using a phone would be quite small and tricky to read, requiring you to zoom in constantly (would be very frustrating!).
Using a computer would be fine, however unless you have a touch screen, you have to type and add in text boxes everywhere which would take longer.
Using a tablet with a stylus pen means you can write, highlight/cross out, type, quickly drag in photos or stickers, re-arrange pages as you need. Its the most versatile way to use any planner and is 100% what I do.
What devices we use:
I use an Apple iPad Pro and 2nd gen Apple Pen with the Paperlike screen protector.
My kids each have a standard wifi only iPad, 1st gen Apple pen and Paperlike screen protector with an extra-padded keyboard case for it all.
I hate the feeling too! If writing on glass has you completely turned off using your digital planner, I highly recommend giving Paperlike a go. Its a screen protector that removes all the friction of the rubber tip on the glass screen, and fixes the problem completely.
This is not sponsored at all, I just genuinely love this. So much so that I have splurged and bought one for both of my kids’ iPads so when they are doing digital art on Procreate its a more enjoyable experience.
You can purchase the Paperlike screen protector online, or in store at places like Officeworks and JB Hifi.
Short answer: In 2024, I recommend GoodNotes.
I am a huge fan of both Notability and GoodNotes. However, Notability has jacked up their subscription prices in 2023, so in 2024 onwards, I’m switching to GoodNotes.
The only real differences between these apps is how they sync between multiple devices and notability has the option to password-protect your files.
If you want to try GoodNotes, you can download for free on the app store and don’t need to pay until you want to add more than 3 files. If you only use this for your HS planner, and have less than 3 kids – you don’t need to pay at all!
You can also use the Apple Notes app (the one that comes with your device!) or any other note-taking app of your choice.
No! Not at all, once you’ve bought the template, you can duplicate these for as many children as you need.
For me, since I have twins that are in the same year level, I track both kids in the same document and just duplicate any pages I need two of.
Of course you can! This is a simple A4 document, and the margins should be fine to print and bind. Officeworks can bind this for you for around $10.
However, for day to day tracking, this is definitely designed for use on a tablet device with a stylus pen. Nothing beats digital for flexibility, and Homeschool is all about staying flexible as our children grow!
Don’t give up!
If you’re getting frustrated with learning how to switch from paper to digital planners (stick with it long enough and you’ll never go back!) – check out my help pages for tutorials on how to use the planners and getting started with digital journalling in general.
All year levels – its for parents!
This planner is for the homeschooling parent (with some involvement from their students) to keep track of their homeschool progress and have an easy reference for the moderator.
