Using the Content Library for Class Notes
One of the most effective ways I have used OneNote in my classroom is by using the Content Library for classwork. What made OneNote a game changer for me during remote instruction (and currently) is the ability to upload any document I want and write over it. This could be curriculum, external worksheets, or things I create. Once uploaded I am able to write, draw, or input anything for the students to see. With the use of my smartboard this has made the use of an overhead projector obsolete. As you can see below I uploaded the curriculum for the day and put notes the students would need on the side.
For this lesson I uploaded the district curriculum as well as external resource I found. I then added all the notes for the students to copy. What really sets this apart from other options is that the notes I take are all stored in the Content Library for future use. Students are able to refer back when studying or catch up on what we did in class if there are absent. I am also able to pre-highlight or write on student documents were I distribute their copies. OneNote is a great tool for storing class notes and delivering content to students.
Thank you for sharing your blog with us. I have not used OneNote yet and I'm definitely interested in it. I like that you added the picture so we can see an example of how you use it your classroom. I can't wait to see your future posts. Maybe I can learn some things and use it in my teaching!
ReplyDeleteEveryone at my school teases me for how obsessed with OneNote I am! If you ever want to learn anything please reach out and I'd be more than happy to teach you anything you'd like to know!
