Thing 16: OneNote and ClassNotebook

I really enjoyed exploring OneNote. I have relied on it heavily in the past. During my studies, I used OneNote to organise course lectures and readings. I had a laptop with a touch screen and I was able to markup readings in OneNote, adding handwritten notes and highlighting passages. I really liked the ability to add different media to notebooks and the ability to use it across devices. It was also far more organised than a handwritten notebook or multiple Word files from individual lectures.  It has been awhile since I have used OneNote, so I explored it some more for Thing 16. After logging into my account, I was relieved to find that a lot of information that I lost recently, after my computer broke, had been stored in OneNote. The first thing I noticed was that I had a lot of messy and forgotten notebooks attached to my account. It was easy enough to clean this up. Although I had not used the program for awhile, it was very intuitive and easy to learn the changes from recent updates. I also really like the “clip from web” function, it is great for research and life admin. Rather than having a vast array of bookmarks, I can use this function to add information to a subject-specific notebook. I am glad that this segment has reminded me of the wonderful uses of OneNote, I am off to add more notebooks!
