This presentation will provide an introduction to MS OneNote and explain practical applications for educators and their students.

Audience: Grades 6-12 Level: Anyone

We will focus on organization for both the student and teacher, streamlining assessment collection, evaluation, and return, and collaboration among students and faculty. Examples of specific ways in which OneNote has been used will be provided by the presenters.

For an overview, see Microsoft's own OneNote 2007 Guide, included as a notebook in any new installation of MS OneNote.

What is OneNote?

We will focus on the "Shared Notebook"

"Live sharing of a notebook" vs. "Shared Notebook"

A Notebook housed on the school's network (rather than the individual user's computer) which is viewed and edited through each user's computer.

A shared OneNote notebook can be viewed and edited by multiple users live simultaneously with a ~30 second lag.

As long as the notebook is not "closed"--OneNote the program, may close, though.

With laptops/tablets, the last viewed version of a shared OneNote notebook is accessible off the network (ie. @ home) and can be edited off network. Any changes will sync once the laptop/tablet returns to the network and the OneNote program is opened.

(The new version of OneNote, part of MS Office 2010, will enable shared notebooks hosted in the "cloud".)

What is a "shared" OneNote notebook?

As educators we are sold on OneNote as a program in its own right, but we are more concerned with the applications of SHARED OneNote Notebooks for pedagogical, extracurricular, and intra-faculty collaboration.

Ease of use after very little set up.

Automatically saves

Typed or handwriting

OneNote is searchable!

Helps keep teachers and students organized

Kids never lose work

OneNote is GREEN--no paper!

What's so great about shared OneNote?

OneNote is GREEN--no paper!

Instead, students complete work in a notebook which teachers may access at all times.

So while OneNote simulates the marble notebook or binder the students never need to part with their work when teachers want to check it. (For example, a student's homework binder, reading journal, class notebook, or in-class work is always complete for both the student and teacher.)

Students don't "turn in" work and teachers don't "collect" work

Better than a document on a file share or shared drive

Multiple people can edit it at the same time

Changes are merged automatically

Notebook is available offline for each person

With a shared notebook:

Keep your team "on the same page"

Meeting notes

Project vision and brainstorming ideas

Any supporting materials collected by group members

List of team work items that people can mark off. (If you manage your work items in Microsoft® Office Project, you can drag the project file onto a OneNote page as an attachment)

Informal draft of the project report where people can add comments. Later you can send it to Microsoft® Office Word (File > Send To)

You can use a shared notebook for notes about a team project,so that everyone can work on it at once, like in a wiki — only better. Shared notebooks are great for storing:

A notebook can be shared simply by storing it in a shared location, such as a shared folder on your own computer, a file share on a server, or SharePoint site (Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint® Services 2.0 or 3.0) . OneNote will guide you through setting up a proper location if you use the Share menu or the shared notebook option in the New Notebook Wizard.

Best practices for Shared Notebooks

To discover the best ways to use a notebook with a group of people, try the Shared Notebook templates when you create a Shared Notebook in the New Notebook Wizard.

10. Use shared notebooks

Overview Page 4

Edit the same notes during a brainstorming meeting, so that everyone can contribute at once

Discuss your notes over the phone with people who cannot attend a group meeting in person

In a live sharing session, several people can simultaneously work on the same note pages, as if writing on a whiteboard in a conference room. After the session ends, every participant is left with a complete copy of the notes. A live sharing session can be useful when you want to:

All you need for a live sharing session is an Internet connection.

Click Share > Live Sharing Session > Start Sharing Current Section.

Tip: You can use the Pen tool as a pointer to aid your discussion during the shared session (Tools > Pen Mode > Use Pen as Pointer)

Notebook, Section, Page, SubpagesOverview of the program's organizational structure:

Never lose anything--it is all on the shared network so even if computer crashes, your stuff is still all there

can also archive (no longer share) currently shared 2009-2010 notebook for my use while sharing 2010-2011 with next year's students.

Archive: Can keep it from year to year to modify, change, revise, etc.

Can grade from home--look at kids' notes, homework, journals, worksheets to monitor what is going on and how they are understanding work

Keeps all of my units organized--handouts, class assignments, notes, writing prompts, etc. Kids can copy and move a page from my notebook to their own notebook

For me, the TEACHERFriday, March 05, 2010

Models organization for the students

Websites, articles, extra worksheets, points of interest, etc.

Or if a student's computer crashes and must be reimaged, they can reconnect to the shared OneNote notebook and pick up right where they left off.

Helps when you have absent students, they can just check the course's shared OneNote notebook to see what they missed and to make it up.

Student Work is Easily Projectable: My notebook and all students' notebooks, journals, work, etc. are projectable without any other software.

Writer's Studio/Workshop

Nicholas's Definition Essay -- student asked for feedback and received excellent, personal, reassuring, and targeted feedback--which gives the teacher insight into student author's self-awareness of learning/writing needs and into student reviewer's effectiveness as a critical reader and invested, willing collaborator.

Scribed Notes: Students who need copies of class notes can have access to them easily--no extra work. All students can have them as well.

Any group on campus--class, club, sport, department, division, committee, board--can take notes/minutes in a way that all members have equal ready access yet not visible to those without "read" permissions.

Each athlete logs a page/day in her/his private section

Any group on campus--class, club, sport, department, division, committee, board--can take notes/minutes in a way that all members have equal ready access yet not visible to those without "read" permissions.

For example, "CA4CA" breakout sessions of cross-divisional faculty

Replaces flip-charts and giant post-it notes, as each group's scribe takes notes digitally in a single shared notebook which are automatically archived on the network and viewable by all interested (and authorized) parties and still can be projected (possibly even wirelessly) during the brainstorming session, meeting, discussion, etc.

Fosters collaboration, as everyone can access and share ideas

This very handout was created as a shared OneNote notebook by the presenters collaborating in person during the day and each revising and adding ideas and examples off campus for sync upon our return in the morning.

Ready access to notes rather than having to find and open individual word documents.

IF.....By Rudyard Kipling

IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too;If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,Or being hated, don't give way to hating,And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;If you can meet with Triumph and DisasterAnd treat those two impostors just the same;If you can bear to hear the truth you've spokenTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginningsAnd never breathe a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after they are gone,And so hold on when there is nothing in youExcept the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,If all men count with you, but none too much;If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith sixty seconds' worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
