Idea Goodnotes for Maths
As a mathematics teacher and a regular user of GoodNotes 6, I greatly appreciate how the app supports digital teaching and note-taking. However, during my daily use—especially in teaching complex concepts—I found that a few additional features would significantly improve the experience, particularly for educators like me:
1. Merge and Split Strokes: This would allow us to combine or separate drawn elements easily—very helpful when organizing mathematical constructions or diagrams.
2. Edit Stroke Properties After Drawing: It would be beneficial to tap on a stroke and adjust its style (e.g., dashed, dotted, solid) or thickness, which is essential when emphasizing different parts of a diagram.
3. Shape Fill with Opacity Control: I would love the ability to fill closed shapes with color and adjust the transparency using a slider. This would help greatly in visualizing areas, overlaps, and focus zones.
4. Advanced Drawing Tools for Educators:
* Basic shapes (circles, triangles, rectangles),
* 3D geometric figures (cubes, spheres, pyramids),
* Arrows and direction markers,
* Charts and graphs (for statistics and functions).
5. Insert Math-related GIFs: Support for inserting animated GIFs (e.g., rotating solids, function animations) would enrich my interactive teaching and make abstract concepts easier to understand.
6. Flip and Mirror Shapes: A "flip" or "mirror" function for diagrams would be incredibly useful, especially when demonstrating symmetry or transformations in geometry.
These features would make GoodNotes not only more powerful for teachers but also an incredible tool for interactive and visual learning. Thank you for building such a fantastic app—and I hope these suggestions can contribute to making it even better for the education community.
