Lately a lot of you have said you really like OneNote but don't see any reason to use it beyond its tablet ink capabilities... so I sat down with Mike Tholfsen (who from now on we'll refer to as the OneNote Ninja) who talked about his dream of "OneNote Next-Gen Learning" and got some cool demos of the stellar features that you don't even need a tablet for but are must-haves for students today.

So if you take a lot of notes or ever do research, you'll drool over the search features he shows. Ever had to work with other people before on a team or class project? Then collaboration is your ticket. Fall asleep in class too much and think you're missing out on important things? Then recording a lecture may save your butt... and Mike shows you how.

Note to those of you who have never seen or heard of OneNote: you may want to read up a bit about it or check out the training before you watch this because we skip over the newbie stuff and dive right into the fun… Ninjas don’t mess around!

BONUS Material:

· “My One and Only OneNote” song , free MP3

· Forest Ridge school video of OneNote 2007 in action



PS: I know you were dying to see Mike’s recipes, but it’s blurred out on purpose. He’s very protective of the family secret sauce… sorry!

Never too late to start taking notes, Sampy...

I wish I had OneNote in class back in school.

Of course that would depend on me actually taking notes so...

I just watched it, it is definitely cool, but I don't think any of my professors will change. They already release their syllabus online in .doc format, sometimes PDF, they also release class schedules in excel format. It would require more work form them than I think they would like. Heck a lot of people still don't have office 2007, I've gotten 3 emails of the same thing from one of my TAs. One was in .xps format, then it was in .docx format, then it was in .doc format, because that was the most compatible.

Most of my classes I can't really take notes with onenote still, Math, and Chem both require equations which are just hard to write, if only someone could solve that problem...

I think I'll try it with Psychology. I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe I'll record a math Lecture today...who knows. I really don't know how recording will work, people are always rustling around, or coughing....it would be neat if that were solved as well. Maybe you could record your professors voice alone, and then use that as a template of sorts, so OneNote filters everything else out except the voice of the professor.

No one is here, lots of people flew off to New Orleans for the National Championship. A few of us stayed behind ;)

Hey Trix:  this has some great info pertinent to your style then... and also, Mike dives into sharing with people that DO NOT EVEN HAVE OneNote, so check out the "collaboration" section right after "search."

I don't have time to watch this now, but I am very interested in using this to take notes in class (not useful for math without ink capability, they make you draw graphs charts and pictures). I have just a standard laptop, so maybe I can find some use for this.

My "Ultimate Steal" Office Ultimate has OneNote so, might as well use it.

I wish my professors used this, but then not everyone has a Windows Based PC...
