OneNote is described as an online, cloud-based notebook service that is simple to use, robust, and can be used on desktop and mobile devices. The document discusses how a teacher used OneNote with 147 students across 9 modules and found it helped with collaborative teaching and learning, organizing notes and materials, sharing content, and assessing student work. Key benefits identified include being able to find information faster, see live student work, provide feedback, and view curated reading materials. A few issues are noted, such as it not working well with weak internet connections, and potential conflicts when syncing pages across devices.

unfolds on OneNote.
Itâs much faster than Moodle.

17. Using the Content Library
I use the Content Library to share important
reading materials. Itâs easy to share and
cross-reference information as it arrives on
my handset via newsfeeds and emails.

21. Using Pinboard.in with OneNote
ï” I can create plain text on Pinboard
without waiting for 3G connectivity.
ï” When I save the bookmark, Pinboard
creates a permanent URL for the note
and then bookmarks that URL.

This slide deck captures conclusions formed after using OneNote in third level for an entire academic year. It was repared by Bernie @Topgold Goldbach for continuous professional development training sessions in the Limerick Institute of Technology.

OneNote brings a simple notebook metaphor to web pages and to mobile phone screens.
Transitioning from Evernote to OneNote was seamless.
OneNote helps the Youth Media Team stay organized. Interview at http://ymt.fm/2016/05/interview-with-aoibhinn-ni-shuilleabhain/
Microsoft has implemented very powerful discovery tools. Screencast developed after a workshop by Pamela OâBrien.
I keep OneNote in the top right of both handsets.
OneNote syncs elegantly.
Iâve been using OneNote for an entire academic year.
OneNote is in your desktop apps. Works well on Android, iOS and Windows Mobile.
Yellow highlights are Class Notebooks. Green is shared by a student. Orange is a campus staff notebook. Blue is content designed to be discovered on Delve.
I can watch students annotate and add content.
Blue highlights shows different people collaborating on assigned tasks.
Screenshot from Moodle referencing the use of OneNote to collect information for assessment purposes.
I can watch student work remotely or across the lab in classroom sessions.
Screenshot from OneNote Public Relations module with feedback to students.
Screenshot from OneNote Content Library in Social Media module.
The Content Library has replaced large amounts of photocopied materials.
I snap images with my cameraphone using Office Lens and send the images directly into OneNote. Sometimes these snaps are processed by Microsoftâs OCR capability and are findable via OneNote search.
I try to set the tone for every major section by using a page called âPractitionerâs Notesâ.
I preview lab sessions by cross-posting them to OneNote, Moodle and Pinboard.
I use Pinboard.in alongside OneNote.
Pinboard.in (and sometimes Google Keep) lets me create notes without a cloud computing connection. This note is at https://notes.pinboard.in/u:topgold/notes/387df36596bbd0a8b6d6
Pinboard.in scrapes everything I tweet from three different Twitter accounts then makes the info easy to find.
Searching Pinboard.in for OneNote.
Searching OneNote on Desktop for collaboration.
Searching OneNote on Android for collaboration.
Once you start putting things in One Place like inside OneNote, itâs easier to find those things.
Objects I discover in Delve should map to OneNote when I expect the highest levels of productivity.
Currently, we do not use OneNote to optimize staff efficiencies.
If we used OneNote as the primary collaboration tool, collegial communications would improve.
Orange is shared with one other staff member. Blue is heavy file sharing with two students. Each green content is shared with more than 35 students.
You may encounter some snags with OneNote.
Itâs relatively easy to work around snags encountered with OneNote.
My phone and its spotty 3G coverage wonât sync more than a few notebooks efficiently.
