OneNote is a free Microsoft product that allows the user to keep
materials in one place. Notes, bookmarks
from the web, Word documents, Power Point presentations, copies of emails, and
more can be kept together on pages in a notebook. As a teacher, I see the value of the ability
to do this. Instead of having materials
strewn between a desktop, mobile device, emails, bookmarks, and hardcopy,
OneNote makes it possible to collect related items into pages or
notebooks. The screenshot below shows an example of how a teacher collected an article, video, and personal notes onto a page.
One example of using OneNote as a teacher is in lesson
planning. The teacher can collect resources from
multiple sites and organize them to create a presentation or worksheet. OneNote gives teacher the ability to embed
voice recording and video recording as well.
All of these features would help in creating flipped lesson plans. In the screenshot below, the teacher has laid out the tasks of the lesson plan - lecture/introduction, video, and article. She can then attach a worksheet or other assignment to check for comprehension.
After watching several tutorials on One Note for Teachers, I
definitely see the value and possibilities of OneNote. I do think the learning curve may be a bit
steep as I begin. There is so much you
can do with OneNote, it may be a bit overwhelming at the onset. I plan to try it out and see how it works for
me.
