OneNote for teaching and learning!
Microsoft OneNote, is a software package for information gathering, and multi-user collaboration. OneNote's interface is an electronic version of the familiar tabbed three-ring binder which can be used directly for making notes, but also to gather "pages" printed or sent from other applications. Pages can be moved inside the binder, annotated with a stylus, word-processing or drawing tools.
In the classroom OneNote can be used extensively to gather and store information for quick retrieval and embed multimedia recordings, web links and screen captures. Resources can be combined to produce interactive units of work which allow students to do away with their heavy textbooks and save time and money for teachers! OneNote has a very effective multi-user environment which enables students to collaborate and share their opinions and ideas effectively.
eNotebooks ensure that students are stimulated, motivated and inspired, by providing meaningful resources, authentic experiences and exciting interactive opportunities. They also provide an alternative to heavy textbooks and save teachers time at the photocopier! |

OneNote on steroidsThe use of eNotebooks within digital classrooms allows for student-centered learning and a more focused approach to class discussions. I am able to move readily from resource to resource and can easily capture student responses in a range of formats. Students no longer spend time writing notes, instead they learn concepts by; being directed to websites, listening to teacher made screencasts, marking up a pdf, participating in online quizzes and drawing mind-maps. The eNotebook’s interface allows content to be easily gathered and accessed from a centralised point. The depth and variety of the tasks mean student off-task behaviour is virtually eliminated.
