  Workshop Description  
  OneNote is a new product from Microsoft which makes it easier for faculty and students to perform research and share information with colleagues. With an interface that is similar to Microsoft Word’s, OneNote is a tool that is intended to help you gather, organize, and use notes more effectively. As a note-taking tool, OneNote accepts typed or handwritten (if you have a tablet PC) input, and it is exceptionally easy to cut, paste, and freely place text and objects from other applications. OneNote also supports audio recording and as you take notes, will synchronize your audio recordings with your note taking. With advanced searching capabilities, it is easy to find and recall information that you have collected. OneNote will work on desktop and laptop computers; however, OneNote will hold exceptional interest for those that have chosen a laptop or tablet to make themselves more portable (in the classroom, in the lab, or in the field). This short course will provide an overview and introduction to Microsoft OneNote, and hands-on activities will be an integral part of this session.
