    One of the most consistent findings in psychology is that people behave differently when their environment changes. When we're in a place where people are quiet (church), we're quiet. When we're in a place where people are loud (stadiums), we're loud. When we're driving and the lanes narrow, we slow down. When they widen, we speed up again. This may seem obvious, but when we try to make change at work, we often make the mistake of obsessing about the people involved rather than their environment. Often the easiest way to drive change is to shape the environment.

  • Another thing that OneNote is great for is shared note taking. What? You mean other people can share my notes? Well...only if you want them to.
  • Tips: Right-click a note to see who made the most-recent change to it and when it was made. You'll see a menu appear. Just look at the last 2 items at the bottom of the menu. It contains the date and time the note was last modified and the name of the individual who made that change. If 2 people have made a change in the same location and at the same time, a conflict occurs. OneNote does not preserve one users notes, while deleting another's. But rather, a hidden page, affectionately deemed a conflict page, will be created containing all unmerged changes. When this happens, a notification will appear at the top of the page. Simply click on it to reveal the page containing the unmerged changes. Or alternatively, you can click the icon that appears on the page tab itself. When you click the notification or the icon, the page expands to reveal the hidden page. On your page you'll see the final note that made it onto the actual page of notes, like this: When you click on the conflict page, you'll see the note that didn't make it onto the page highlighted in red, like this: What happens from here is completely up to you. If you determine that none of the unmerged changes are necessary, you can delete the conflict page and move on. Just select the page and press the <Delete> key, or right-click the page and select Delete from the menu. Once this happens, the conflict notification icons are removed from the top of the page and from the page tab. If you decide that you want to salvage the conflicting note, just copy the contents from the conflict page to the actual page of notes. Or, if you're not sure, just leave it. You can click the icon again to collapse the conflict page so it stays out of site. All conflicting changes will remain intact until you decide to take action.

    Basic Truths For a Successful Technology Integration Plan: Education really doesn't like change, whether it is "top-down" or by "local consensus". As in any organization on this planet, you will always have 10-15% of individuals who won't like any-thing to do with change, plain and simple. So, you need to focus on the those who are willing and wanting. The Early Adapters are not, repeat, not the people that need the most of the support. You must focus on the Mid Adapters to ensure success. As for the Late Adapters, be patient!

    This demo shows how much flexibility OneNote 2007 gives you for organizing your notes. You can set up your structure beforehand or just start with a blank slate. Set up notebook sections by project, date, client, or any other way that suits you. And then easily change your structure later if you need to.

  • Our plan has five intertwined strands-curriculum revision, student training, faculty training, program assessment and program sustainability and this past week, there were challenges to each strand.
    • Tami Brass
      Tami Brass on 14 May 08
       
      I like the strands... curriculum, student training, faculty training, assessment, sustainability
  • The first strand encompasses redesigning significant pieces of curriculum in preparation for a 1-to-1 tablet program
  • NET-s and the Framework for 21st Century Skills and using them to create talking points that make sense for our institution
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Our goal is to take the good in the existing curriculum, throw out the unnecessary and outdated, add topics of relevancy for today’s students, and embed teaching the skills that today’s students need.

      I'm curious about the lecture environment. I like the training in context, but some skills training is more efficient at the start.
  • Using standards, research, learning theories and best practices, we are creating curricular goals and training plans for each department.
  • This means that they need to know things about the operating system, the tablet hardware, and the software tools they have at their disposal.
  • We are also trying to offer a summer speaker series that we hope faculty will find somewhat inspiring.
    • Tami Brass
      Tami Brass on 14 May 08
       
      I wish we could do this.
  • To assess the program, we are exploring ways to get baseline data. LOTI and some teaching survey’s made with Composica will be key components. We aren’t going to a 1-to-1 program to increase technology skills or use but because we think it’s a central ingredient in a 21st century learning environment and a necessary tool for the type of curriculum today’s students need.
  • In summary, the lessons I learned or had reiterated for me as I worked on the 1-to-1 plan are these: A personal learning network should be a requirement for all teachers. I’m increasingly drawn to the idea that it should be a requirement for our students as well. The training plan must be revised to ensure that faculty learn to create and maintain a network. Learning is non-linear. The more networked I become, the less linear things get. Ideas and plans exist in a state of constant revision. The rate at which ideas and information are generated is astounding. It requires a network to help filter and distill the information. Curriculum and Learning no longer have an endpoint, in part because of mass collaboration made possible by technology. The need to change is urgent. Our students' learning and futures depend on it.

  • ...12 more annotations...
  • To view a list of useful keyboard shortcuts that make accessing OneNote tools, commands, and dialog boxes faster and easier, click Keyboard Shortcuts on the Help menu.
  • If copying and pasting text and graphics from a Web page to a page in your notebook doesn't seem to properly retain the formatting, try capturing the information in a screen clipping instead. On the Insert menu, click Screen Clipping, and then drag the pointer to create a rectangular selection around the content on your screen that you want to capture.
  • To see when a block of notes was last written or updated, right-click the paragraph handle preceding the text in any note container. The last two items on the shortcut menu will show you when the text was created or updated, and by whom.
  • To move an item, such as a block of text or a picture, so that it appears over or under another item on the page, hold down ALT while moving the item.
  • Before sharing your notes, check for spelling mistakes. Press F7 to open the Spelling task pane and start the spell check. If the task pane is already open, click Start Spell Check.
  • You can easily modify the templates that are included with OneNote and create a custom design of your own. Start by applying an existing template to a new, blank page, and then add or change anything you like. On the Format menu, click Templates. In the Templates task pane, click Save current page as a template.
  • you can save notes as a Web page. On the File menu, click Publish Pages. In the Publish dialog box, click Single File Web Page (Publish a copy) (*.mht) in the Save as type list. After the file has been created, you can send it in e-mail, copy it to a shared location on a network, or publish it on a Web site.
  • Use different colors to identify participants in a live sharing session. Ask each person to use a specific pen or font color when he or she adds notes to the shared page. For example, you can type your notes in blue text and use a blue pen to mark up a diagram. Another person can use green text or a green pen. Add a list of names and corresponding text colors at the top of the shared note page so that session participants know who is typing or writing.
  • Use OneNote to help you study for an exam. If you take notes by using an outline format, collapse your outline down to the highest level of information, and then quiz yourself about the details hidden in the collapsed levels. To work with outlines, turn on the Outlining toolbar. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Outlining.
  • To quickly open a side note, even when OneNote isn't open, press the Windows logo key+N.
  • To help you line up items on your pages (for example, note containers or pictures), OneNote automatically snaps the items to an invisible grid as you move and reposition them. To temporarily disable the grid, hold down ALT while you move an item on the current page. To permanently turn the page grid option on or off, click the Snap To Grid command on the Edit menu.
  • If you use OneNote on a portable computer or a Tablet PC, you can optimize the amount of battery power that OneNote consumes. On the Tools menu, click Options. In the Options dialog box, click Other, and then select the Optimize for the following battery life option that you want.
