Your iPad Air2 does not support Apple Pencil - or Scribble, this being Apple’s native handwriting recognition software.

For your iPad2, try searching the Apple App Store for suitable Apps. A simple search clue, such as “handwriting recognition”, will provide a good starting point to find Apps suitable for needs. Similarly, using a search engine (such as Google) will find options.
