How to Bible Study on an iPad | How to Digital Bible Study | Digital Journaling for Beginners
i'll be using the goodness app because i found that goodnotes is
pretty much the most user friendly so you just
click new and then you can do a new notebook and name it whatever you would
like if you want to have you know your own
bible study notebook on your tablet and i prefer to use i prefer to use the
squared paper just because my handwriting is not
always the best in this app i'm still trying to figure it out and it
just comes out better so i start off with my title the the way that i do my
bible studies are the same as on paper so i'm just
going to show you the technical things that i do to make it look
decent so first i use a brush pen for my titles
and i already have that selected and one thing
to to note that if you're struggling with handwriting on a digital notebook
try increasing the thickness and that's true for regular handwriting as well if
you have kind of like a thicker marker or a thicker juicier pen tip
typically your handwriting can look a little bit more smooth and it helps a
lot so i just increased my brush pen to
one millimeter but you can use whatever you want
typically for titles i like to use around 0.6 millimeters
another thing that i like to use is this zoom tool this zoom tool
allows you to look right at where you're writing and
you can not only change the size of this zoom tool
but you can locate it wherever you would like so i want my title in the middle so
that's where it's going to be in the middle
and when you click on this zoom tool you see how this box
pops up this is where you're going to be writing
so i'm just going to toggle it for a few times for you to see
and i'm going to be writing in this box because it's zoomed in and it just
helps with my titles so i'm just going to do a bible study on
the verse of the day today which is psalm 23 6.
and now to move this over and now i want to keep writing but i kind of ran out of
space so you can just use your finger and move wherever you want in this box
as well so i'm just going to move it over
i'm a lefty and i rest my hand while writing naturally so i just i constantly
have to x out of this so now that i have that done i can show
you a couple things so i'm going to take this lasso tool and
what that does is you can cut around any writing or
space zoom in a little bit and i'm just going
to draw around my title
and now to select it you just hold it down
and then these menu options come up so you can do a lot with this you can
change the color you can copy it i'm going to just resize i'm just going
to make it a little bit bigger
i don't usually make my titles this big but for today i don't know i just felt
like it and now because i want to and the
scripture's not that long i'm just going to write what song 26 is
underneath so i'll do the same thing i'll go into the zoom tool
i will put the box where i want to write it which is about right here
and then this little thing popped up i like to make it pretty much
you know bigger and i'm just going to write the scripture
and to do that i like to use the ballpoint pen
and i'm going to use the color black and i'm going to use 0.5 i found that
this for me tends to be the smoothest but
again if you're struggling with how your handwriting looks just keep practicing
i do find that this is different from pen and paper obviously
but if you just keep practicing it'll
improve
okay so this is it and again you can use the lasso tool
and draw around it and i like to just move it to the place that i want which
is right here i feel like that looks really nice like
that actually
and what i do is the same i read the scripture
um and the next thing that i would do in my normal bible study journal is
highlight and i like to draw a box around
a lot of the scriptures that i read so i'm going to do that now so to do that
i'm just going to use the highlight tool because when you use that tool
it straightens the lines for you so i'm going to change the color to maybe like
this lighter purple and i'm going to use like a smaller size
width you can obviously use whatever you want but when you draw a line with the
highlight tool it automatically straightens it for you
so see how crooked that is
now that i have my scripture i'm going to go through
and read it and highlight the parts that i want to stand out and talk about
down here and i'm going to use a different color for each part that i
want to highlight to highlight i'm going to change the
width to about let's do let's do like
two
so you can see i used different highlights and now i'm going to go back
to this first color
and i'm going to make my first point by color coordinating it
color coordinating it with this blue i kind of make a dot like that
and i'm going to switch to the pen with black ink
and just write about what i want to write
so next i'm going to look at this title and i'm going to use this color so that
each point i make will coordinate with the part that i highlighted
all right so this is what we have so far and i think everything is a little
shifted this way a little bit so again i'm just going to take my lasso tool
and this is really minor you don't have to do this
but i mean it makes it so easy so why not
i'm just going to decorate it a little bit and to do that i use the ballpoint
pen and i like to use kind of a thicker
millimeter for what i'm going to do today so i'm just going to use
one
to color it in i'm just going to use the highlighter selection because
not only will it come out nice and pastel but
it kind of neatens it up and when you highlight something it'll put it behind
the pen tool automatically so for example i have a purple and i'm
just going to color this in
and at the end of my bible studies i like to put a prayer
i'm just going to resize it make it a little bit bigger
now i just kind of adjust things and put them where i want
so for example i'm going to take this whole section
put it in the middle at the bottom and i'm going to take this whole section
