This week I reviewed a program called OneNote. I have personally never heard of this program and I am extremely excited about what I found out about it!!! I think this program would be an amazing addition to any classroom.
I teach a variety of music classes that range from elementary general music to wind ensembles to independent study courses like music theory. In watching just the opening video I could see the many ways OneNote could be utilized. First, the program is very well organized and has everything located in one central area; this makes it easier for students and teachers alike to learn and adapt to the program. Below is a screen shot of the program to demonstrate how everything is organized and located within the program. As you may notice there is a notebook for 'Marine Science' and within this notebook you may find different tabs for Lesson Plans, Research, Assignments and so on. To see more the basic abilities OneNote offers they have a video at the following link: http://onenoteforteachers.com/en-US/Guides/Getting%20started%20with%20OneNote
OneNote is not only a way to keep the educator organized, but is also a great way to give parents and students the ability to access their classes from home. This is a great aspect of the program! If a student is absent from school for one day or an extended period of time, they would still be able to see lectures, have handouts available, and see required homework assignments without ever falling behind on work. And by having the ability for the teacher to grade the assignments on the computer, there is feedback for all students!!! This will also help students keep track of their homework, because as we know there are always ones that lose worksheets. The following link is a video on how to create interactive lessons! http://onenoteforteachers.com/en-US/Guides/Creating%20interactive%20lessons%20with%20OneNote
OneNote is a great program. I am definitely going to do more research on it! Hope you all enjoy this also.
