I used OneNote already fairly often as a typical “meeting-note-taking” tool, but last week I tried to use it to make digital handouts: instead of just printing out my slide presentation, I created a new notebook, imported my slides “as printout”, distributed them across different sections, added keywords, diagrams, screen clippings… I zipped the notebook folder and made it available to students as a download before the session.

There are good examples of educational use of OneNote. This post of Daniel Escapa is very inspiring! Check out his blog for more cool OneNote tricks. Did you know you could share OneNote files on SharePoint?
Want to know more? I learned a lot from this demo.
