Definitely the built-in Notepad!

In Notes, you can write, and then switch to sketches, and create=20
evenly-sized squares and circles, or freehand, and create freehand=20
drawings. Plus, there is built-in stationery for creating outlines or=20
checklists. You can do everything for your classes right in Notepad.=20
You might also want to check out the other stationery that is available=20=

on www.unna.org. You'll have to dig around for it, but the digging=20
process should be fun, at least. ;-)

Play with the Notepad, and you'll learn how it works. One little=20
tidbit, however. Notes are rather limited in size. You can get an=20
extension called "Bigger Notes" which will let them get bigger, but=20
then, some people say that the Notes app slows down. I say try it and=20
see. One way to speed it back up is to create new folders, and keep the=20=

number of notes in the folders smaller. One other tip, if you will.=20
When you want to create a new note, you can simply draw a line across=20
the screen in Notes, and you should have a new note. It can be a bit=20
faster than the two taps necessary with the normal method. :-)
