copy and paste – useful for getting text from slides if they are uploaded to Blackboard before the lecture, or I sometimes screenshot the slides from Dropbox and insert them into the text.size 20, blue, bold) to the tool bar to quickly make headings.
easy pre-set formatting – you can add pre-set formats (e.g. insert webclips – very useful to bung in a bookmarked screenshot of sites we discuss, or YouTube videos we are shown in class. draw figures – the new version supports handwriting on the page, so I find I am using this option less than I used to, but it is still useful for the pre-formatted shapes (circles, rectangles etc). 
handwrite directly on the page – I use this a lot for maths, much quicker than trying to type equations or numbers on the iPad. quickly add and annotate photos (so I usually photograph the paper handouts we are given). I like the pretty colours for organising notes into categories, it is easy to use and has lots of great features. For day to day notes in lectures and seminars, I use Notability (which is on sale at the moment and well worth several times its current price of 69p). 
I use my iPad every day, I bought it instead of a laptop for my PGCE course and it hasn’t let me down. As I am trying to think about my second PGCE assignment, and what topic I will use for an action research project on my second teaching placement, the ideal displacement activity is blogging about my reading and note taking methods that I use 😉 Taking notes in class
