Instruction
In today’s highly technological educational environment, it is not uncommon to find students taking notes with paper, pens and pencils. For the most part, note-taking is viewed as an effective way to help students remember contents covered in class. One of the main challenges of Note- taking, however, is finding a good way to organize your notes so that you can find what you are looking for with ease. This is where Microsoft’s OneNote comes in. With OneNote, you will be able to take and organize your notes in an electronic notebook, access the notes on demand, share your notes with others and much more.
With the availability of so many portable devices (phones, tablet PCs, etc.) and their ability to access materials in the “cloud,” students need to consider having their notes available to them wherever they are and whenever they need to access them. One of the many tools that can make that possible is Microsoft’s OneNote.
For this project, we will learn about cloud computing and how OneDrive (formally SkyDrive) can help the student keep their notes organized and accessible whenever they want to get to them.
