Zoom Classes - Save to Notes Pages

Revised info February 8, 2021 - the iOS is now 14.4 and how much of the following details still work? Read on and try for yourself. Report back during our pre-meeting Question Time. New for Spring 2021 are new video tutorials that give hints to this process. Read the details on App Combo: Email, Safari and Notes for the Share to Notes process and Gestures, Selections and On-Screen Keyboard for Copy and Paste hints. Then, watch the videos.

Confusion on where to keep your Zoom Meeting links
Invitations come in email but we all get so many emails it is hard to find what I need in the next 5 minutes. Two options come to mind, the Calendar app and the Notes app. 

Notes app for Zoom meetings - Demo (Notes Mail Notes Safari Zoom)
Current IOS - 13.7 - a lower number 10.x, 11.x will look different! 

Selected text is added to a Note page without “paste”
  1. List your classes on paper - note leader name
  2. Search for Notes on device > tap Notes to open
  3. Navigate to top level of Notes: Folders
  4. Tap New Folder > tap Apple ID name
  5. Type “Zoom Fall 2020” > tap Save
  6. Tap new folder name to open the folder
  7. iPhone pencil/pad icon to start a new note
  8. Add title “iPhone iPad Basics”
  9. Add leader names (later add contact info)
  10. Tap Done
  11. Tap Zoom Fall 2020 to go back to folder
  12. Make new notes for each class
  1. Open Mail app to All Inboxes view
  2. Search field > Type “Carol dab...” - “meet and greet”
  3. Select info (start at top & wipe down or start at bottom and wipe up)
  4. Tap selected text > find Share on pop up menu
  5. Scroll 2nd row of icons to Notes > tap Notes
  6. New Note? No. Tap Apple ID name to navigate deeper
  7. Look at this Choose Location screen - Search! or explore
  8. Search for emails with  “Zoom” or your specific seminar “Economist”
  9. Search results show folders identified to help ID existing Note
  1. Still in Mail, find another class - Search field > Type “renaiss ...”
  2. Find mail message > select text > tap > Share > Notes
  3. New Note? No. Tap Apple ID > search
  1. NEW CLASS
  2. Select text > tap > Share > Note > navigate to folder
  3. Tap Create New Note
  4. "Container Gardening"
Tip: in each Note for Zoom add a unique word to maximize Home Screen “Spotlight” search, for example ‘belladonna’ is not a term in my other notes - specific to a flower. Maybe not a good unique word for a gardener. 

From any Home Screen swipe down between app icons to bring up Spotlight Search. Type your unique word > when Notes item appears tap Search in App to reveal all notes with unique word

Next semester - delete all these old notes, and add new ones! 
Some people read their email using a web browser like Safari or Firefox or Google Chrome. Here is information to test selecting text on a web page and saving it to a Note page.

I just love working with this team to introduce features for new users of iPads and iPhones. Because I always learn new things myself. Sometimes I just use obvious features of an app. But because of this class we dig a little deeper and look at what is new. There are always things to learn about familiar apps. 

You will learn more about the Notes app in other sessions.  Plus you can re-read the entry from Spring 2020 covering the Reminders and Notes apps.
