Let’s try something with OneNote

 

If I did the sharing right, you should be able to access the following link:

This is the OneNote 2010 User Guide in a notebook format.  Even without OneNote you should be able to view the web version of the notebook but if you downloaded the OneNote software you should be able to open this in OneNote.  Look on Page 11 for an embedded PDF file with a quick guide for the 2013 version of OneNote.  Reviewing this should spark some ideas on how you might best use this.  If not, also try going to:

This is a list of actual Notebooks already setup for specific functions.  They are sure to spark some ideas for you.  If you can’t access this, leave me a comment on the error or problem accessing.

Microsoft OneNote | The digital note-taking app for your devices


Yesterday Microsoft announced that it was giving OneNote away for free.  If you do not presently use it or you have no idea what it is, I urge you to set some time aside and visit the link below.  This is an outstanding program even when you had to pay over $125 to get it.  I plan on posting more about this software and how to use it, but for now just imagine a file cabinet in your mind.  A OneNote like a file cabinet.  A notebook is like a drawer in the cabinet.  You can have as many notebooks (cabinet drawers) as you want.  The tabs inside the notebook are like the folders within a cabinet drawer and the pages within the tabs are what you would put inside the drawer.  It will fit as many tabs and pages as you like. 
The real value comes when you realize that you can clip webpages from any site within a page.  You can create your own pages.  You can add video or audio files onto a page.  The possibilities are endless.
Locate your notebook on SkyDrive and you can access your information or add to it from any device you have access to at the time.  Share your notebook to others for more fun.  You can designate each person you share with as to whether they can just read or edit/add to the notebook.  More to follow on this, especially if comments indicate an interest.
