How To Use TurboScan App

Turbo Scan is an app I use with my iPhone to scan documents or articles that I have used in class and upload them to dropbox.  From there, I can link them to the blog for use by students.  The video below will help you use the app.  Not all things are covered, I will go over those below.

One thing that isn't covered it how to name the documents you are scanning.  After you are done scanning your papers, click on the top middle of your phone and it'll allow you to name your document. Or you can click on the pen at the bottom of the app and this will allow you to name the document as well.  Also, I like to share or move to dropbox by clicking "open PDF in" and choosing dropbox.

How to Get Started

So, now what?  You are here and wondering what the heck can we accomplish in 20 minutes?  Well, hopefully making a blog about making a blog will help!  So, these are some of the things that you will need to get started and be successful at doing what I'm doing with posting assignments and such.  You won't need all of it if you are looking to use the blog differently.

What you need to make the blog work:

*google account (mandatory)

*dropbox account (optional)

*scanner/scanning app (optional but recommended)

I like having a dropbox for various reasons to use along with my blog better than google drive or another type of site like it. If you want to know the reasons then ask. Otherwise, I won't waste your time.

I use the app called turboscan. It costs $1.99.  Best two bucks you will ever spend. Well, not really but close. It's available on iPhone only currently, but there are other options if you have an android phone, maybe Handy Scanner will work. It's free initially, try it and see if you like it.
