When I joined my current district they gave me an Apple pencil which I hade just had training about at a national conference. I didn't have one of my own so I was excited to finally be able to get started with so many possibilites. My mom is a professional artist, but I did not have any of her skills, but when I used the Apple pencil, I was amazed at the many possibilities! Unlike crayons, markers and other tools, when you mess up, you had to start all over. Not so with an Apple pencil! This gave me so much hope as someone who wanted to develop artistic abilities but up to this point has not experienced success. I've also been able to use this learning tools with teachers and students and share with them the amazing possibilites of sketchnoting especially for students who don't consider themselves an artist!
