OneNote: the Mega-Tool for Learning

by Brick ONeil

From Mike Tholfsen

Lately a lot of you have said you really like OneNote but don’t see any reason to use it beyond its tablet ink capabilities… so I sat down with Mike Tholfsen (who from now on we’ll refer to as the OneNote Ninja) who talked about his dream of “OneNote Next-Gen Learning” and got some cool demos of the stellar features that you don’t even need a tablet for but are must-haves for students today.

So if you take a lot of notes or ever do research, you’ll drool over the search features he shows. Ever had to work with other people before on a team or class project? Then collaboration is your ticket. Fall asleep in class too much and think you’re missing out on important things? Then recording a lecture may save your butt… and Mike shows you how.

Note to those of you who have never seen or heard of OneNote: you may want to read up a bit about it or check out the training before you watch this because we skip over the newbie stuff and dive right into the fun… Ninjas don’t mess around!

OneNote 2007 Toolkit for Teachers video

Most of these videos cover OneNote 2007 features, but one of them is targeted specifically for the OneNote 2007 Toolkit for Teachers notebook. This video is about 8 minutes long and walks through each section of the notebook briefly and explains its purpose. I encourage people to take a look and watch: VIDEO: OneNote2007 Toolkit for Teachers

I’ll be adding more even more education-specific videos in the future, as well as more basic OneNote feature videos. I encourage you to check out any or all of the videos and hopefully they will help you out with some aspects of OneNote that you’re curious about.
