OneNote, Multiple Ways

I think Microsoft Office OneNote Program is awesome!! I was enrolled in a Business Office Systems course (BOS 106) that outlined this tool and showed me a lot neat tricks and tips. The app incorporates the other Office tools, such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel. OneNote is similar to OneDrive, as far as creating storing and editing documents.  Here you can watch a quick tutorial on the features that OneNote provides. For my class I had to purchase the subscription to use Microsoft Office Products.

This app is available as a desktop version, which I use, as an online tool, can also be downloaded and accessed on any capable tablet or phone. Amazon, Clipper and Chromebook also allow access to OneNote.

The program is sectioned by “Notebooks” or different places where things can be stored. You can make each Notebook specific to something in your life, school, different classes, work, recipes, home, financials, etc. There is also the ability to share Notebooks with others so collaborations can take place. For example, if you are working on a project for school or work you have the ability to share the Notebook so others can edit and that way everyone in the group can contribute their parts to the project without having multiple files which can have a not updated version. Another trick that will work in this instance is you can work offline, so if you are collaborating on a project you can individually work offline so noting id revealed until you are complete then you can sync the Notebook so everyone in your group you are working with can see your results or finished product.

Most people have probably seen these links on their web browsers and have no idea what they mean.

These links give you the option to send a web page to OneNote without copying or sharing the link or web page itself. The second option is if you are reading an article online, or maybe even want to write a rebuttal to something you can take Linked Notes where you click the Linked Notes tab and a OneNote note taking page will be docked to your screen and once you start typing OneNote will link the web page you are taking notes from and leave an icon from your browser showing that the notes were taken from a Linked Notes session.
