Using the OneNote Editor
The way Microsoft_OneNote handles your edits and content can seem a bit different than other Microsoft products and after viewing this video you will see how the sections, pages, and basic edits are handled to keep your notes organized.
You may also want to view content from another application and OneNote will allow you to print content into your notebooks to keep formatting and styles in your OneNote version. While you could copy and paste this method, however, this method allows you to have a much closer version of the content you were viewing online, from a document, or presentation.
Importing Images
The use of images is extensive in this class and adding these to your notes is very similar to many of the other Microsoft products, but the following video walks you through the details of this process.
Capturing Screen Clips
This is another area where OneNote is different than another Microsoft is different. In the following video, you will learn the different ways you can do screen clips.
Locking Notes
One of the most powerful research aspects of OneNote is the feature locking your research (e.g. journal articles, other papers, and online websites) to your notes for efficient and effective recall when you go back to study for exams and in other courses. The following video explains how to lock your notes to the other content you are learning.
Search and Taggin Notes
Have you ever found yourself wondering where an old set of notes are or need to follow up on a task that you lost track of while studying? OneNote is brilliant at allowing you to search for old content and tag notes so that you can easily find resources and checklists. The following videos explain how to search and tag your notes.
Using the Equation Editor
The Equation Tool is fully integrated into OneNote and the following videos explain how to use this tool by simply selecting what equations you want to insert along with using digital ink equations.
