Live Sharing SessionsUsing OneNote in a collaborative classroomBy Osaid Baninasor

Why using OneNote and Live sharing sessionsStart syncing quickly when other

people are also editing the same page

People can be writing notes together

Being in the same place where your team shares content

communicate with your colleagues during a conference call without having to wait for the resulting e-mail volley to reach your Inbox

Why using OneNote and Live sharing sessionsAssign a task to a student and know

that everyone automatically has the same information

Having important events of the day( from news releases that relate to your practice, to client questions and their resolutions ) all saved together, in real time, in one place

Create a team diary with OneNote shared sessions

Why using OneNote and Live sharing sessionsTrack the progress of each group of

students by clicking on their pages to see what they were working on and how they were doing

Share each group's work with the entire class

Excellent tool for brainstormingCan be used in non-edit mode where the

instructor broadcasts to all studentsWhen the shared session ends, all the

students have their own copy of the material

Why using OneNote and Live sharing sessionsYou can set up a shared session with as

many other people as you wantPeer-to-peer shared note-taking

experience. Which means you don't need some fancy server or web site

It is a little like a giant whiteboard that everyone can stand at and write stuff on

You can type, paste in pictures, charts, graphs, etc. You can also add additional pages at any time, for supporting material

Create your own team diary

Create a page layout that helps to organize the content logically for everyone in your group

click anywhere on a OneNote page to begin typing. You can easily allot portions of your page to elements such as a reminder list, a task assignment list, and an open discussion area

After you set up the page as you want it, you can save its layout to reuse it for each new shared session

Create your own team diary

To save your page layout:On the Format menu, click Stationery.In the Stationery task pane, click Save

current page as stationeryTo apply the stationery to any page,

click the stationery name under My Stationery in the Stationery task pane. My Stationery appears in the task pane after the first time that you save your own stationery
