Introduction to OneNote
OneNote has revolutionized the way classrooms are run, and it’s all thanks to its handy and versatile tools! It’s a digital notebook that can be used online and offline to take notes, manage projects, and collaborate with others. With the help of OneNote, you can make sure your classroom is always organized and on task.
One of the most valuable tools is OneNote Class Notebook, which allows teachers to interact with their students in a safe online space. It’s perfect for distributing assignments and providing feedback, while also enabling students to work together in shared spaces.
Another awesome perk of OneNote is that it can be used for taking personal, collaborative, or meeting notes. If you’re already familiar with Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, then working in OneNote will be a breeze! You’ll appreciate the ability to use tags for organization, as well as add audio notes for easy reference later on.

Benefits of Using OneNote in the Classroom
If you’re an educator looking to up your teaching game, then OneNote is definitely a tool you should consider. As part of the Microsoft suite of products, OneNote can enhance both teaching and learning in the classroom. With OneNote Class Notebook, teachers are enabled to offer one-on-one instruction, facilitate group activities, provide organized file sharing, check student understanding and progress tracking—all in one place.
OneNote also allows for efficient organization and agenda sharing. It’s much easier for both teachers and students to set agendas and goals for learning with OneNote templates. In addition, it’s easy to keep all assignments together and stay organized with tags and labels. Not to mention, audio recordings make note-taking easier than ever!

Tips for Using OneNote Templates and Tags
When it comes to using OneNote in the classroom, templates and tags are essential for getting organized. Prefacing section names with numerals helps to ensure that they stay at the top of the list, while OneNote templates make it easy to quickly create pages with predefined layouts.
Templates
Using the right templates can save you a ton of time by giving you an outline or structure for a particular type of project or assignment. You can even create your own custom template so you don’t have to worry about digging through menus trying to find something specific. Additionally, they provide consistency when assigning tasks and give students an idea of how their work should look at the end of the project.
Tags
Tags are also useful when it comes to staying organized. They provide a quick way to add relevant metadata (notes about a note) that will improve searchability and enhance organization overall – making it easier to find information in complex notes stored within class sections and notebooks. For example, if you wanted to mark items as “ongoing” or “completed” without cluttering up your list, adding tags would be ideal for this purpose. Plus, tags can be color-coded which really makes them stand out from other notes and page elements.
So if you’re looking for some handy tips on how to make better use of OneNote in your classroom, these two tools should definitely be at the top of your list!

Exploring the Mobile Apps for OneNote
OneNote is designed for both students and teachers to use in the classroom. One of the coolest features is that you can access OneNote from any device – mobile, tablet or desktop! You can make sure your class notes stay synced on all of your devices.
The OneNote App from Microsoft allows you to take notes right on your phone, wherever you are. It integrates with Office 365 and lets you do everything you do on the desktop version, including creating notebooks, sections and notes and adding tags, images, audio recordings and videos to them.
Audio Recordings for Class Projects
If you want to increase the effectiveness of your notes and project management, integrating audio recordings into your OneNote Class Notebook is the way to go. With OneNote, storing audio recordings alongside notes helps you build a more comprehensive picture of your study material and project progress.
Record During Class
With one click, you can record audio while taking notes in your OneNote Class Notebook. That means you don’t have to miss out on any part of a class — just press record! Audio recordings are stored right in your notebook, so you can easily access them when it’s time to review or create a project plan.
Replay Important Content
Replaying audio recordings alongside your notes is a great way to understand concepts faster and more thoroughly — all without having to re-watch long videos or lectures. It also helps break down complex topics into easier-to-parse chunks.
Enhance Learning Experiences
Audio recordings also provide an opportunity for students with learning disabilities like ADHD or dyslexia to enjoy the same effective educational experiences as other learners. The ability to review lectures in their entirety is invaluable for students who need extra support.
