OneNote and Education : OneNote and Learning Styles - Dr. Ole Lauridsen - 1 views

  • learning communities are not aware of the enormous learning potential that is to be found in this “electronic notebook”
  • many learners are simply not capable of choosing among the many features available in OneNote in a qualified way
  • eNote is the one that embraces most learning styles elements and does it in the most direct way
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • m a constructivist point of view, all learning implies the transformation of information into knowledge, and this goes for teaching, too, in the modern – i.e. constructivist – sense of the word: Creating an adequate environment for learning.
  • OneNote is a very strong learning tool that may be completely personalized in accordance with to the users’ needs, not least their learning styles needs.
  • OneNote supports the auditory strength by allowing users to work with audio files. Whole lectures, group meetings, and also thoughts, ideas, brainwaves, can be recorded and stored for further processing, provided with relevant annotations (the latter as “sticky quotes” created through a mouse click on the OneNote icon in the notification area).
  • The use of text and all kinds of pictures obviously supports visual learners. OneNote contains many visual elements, and creative users can design their own as well.
  • Tactile learners benefit from the mere use of a computer and thus of course from the mere use of OneNote. Drawing, making audio or video recordings, scrolling, following links, etc. are important activities for tactile learners and strongly support their focus and their learning process.
  • Verbal learners often like to talk to themselves, and they may support this preference by using OneNote’s recording tool. Mentally, recording speech is more binding than saying words that just vanish into thin air; consequently, a recording has a much larger learning impact than mere speech that is not recorded.
  • The smooth interaction with other Microsoft Office applications (first of all, Outlook and Explorer) makes it easy to switch between tasks; furthermore, the program as such with its notebooks, sections, subsections, and many features gives the multitaskers fantastic opportunities to meet their individual needs.
  • OneNote supports the learners’ preferences whether they want to work alone, in pairs, in a peer groups, or teams, and whether or not they need to consult a person of authority while working and, finally, whether or not they prefer variation between these options,.

Tablet PC Tip #1 - Annotating PowerPoint - 0 views

  •  
    Using the digital pen to mark up slides is easy - and it sure is more effective than using a laser pointer. When you're done with your lecture, you can save the marked up slides and share them with your class. I also think this reduces (but doesn't eliminate) the cognitive load on students when they're taking notes, as they don't have to scurry to transcribe EVERYTHING you've written on the whiteboard.\n

The Student Tablet PC » Blog Archives » Making OneNote Printer-Friendly - 0 views

  • The first thing to make sure you do is to print to OneNote the same way you would want those pages printed on a printer. You can always zoom in to make things bigger. If you won’t ever need a hardcopy with your notes, don’t worry about this, but OneNote will try to group pages to fit all of one image in a page (keyword: try). If you have two PowerPoint slides to an image already, you won’t have to work with OneNote to make it print two images per page (because OneNote will likely just print one slide per page).
  • use a page layout that has the same dimensions as the page you will be printing to.

      anyone tried this mod yet?
  •  
    One of my major gripes about OneNote is that the pages will get longer, but they won't tell you where the page will cut off if you have to print it to paper. For random scribbles and day-to-day operations, this is fine, but if you're getting ready for that open note test, being able to easily print without equations/diagrams getting cut in half is important.

The real reason why Steve Jobs hates Flash - Charlie's Diary - 3 views

  •  
    I've got a theory, and it's this: Steve Jobs believes he's gambling Apple's future - the future of a corporation with a market cap well over US $200Bn - on an all-or-nothing push into a new market. HP have woken up and smelled the forest fire, two or three years late; Microsoft are mired in a tar pit, unable to grasp that the inferno heading towards them is going to burn down the entire ecosystem in which they exist. There is the smell of panic in the air, and here's why ...
