You can see what this looks like in the way my Macbeth booklet has been displayed above: the entire booklet is a visible PDF. When uploading these resources, you can attach as a file or, as I do, use the ‘printout’ function (found in the Insert tab) that effectively uploads it as a PDF. The ‘All’ section is where I place things that are not text specific, such as analysis bookmarks or course overviews. Here’s an example from the Macbeth section of what might be included: If you have recorded a lesson you could link to it here too for students to access, both now and in the future. You might, for example, include a link to a relevant Oak National lesson or perhaps an audio recording (which can be done natively in OneNote using the audio function) of you discussing something. You could also use this space to link to various relevant media, whether images, YouTube videos, or podcast episodes. Within each section, I would then upload any resources, worksheets, PPTs, booklets that I want students to access. For my own Content Library, I divide it between texts that I teach, like this: You could think of this as the equivalent to a traditional file or binder, with different sections and pages. Organising the Content Libraryĭuring set up, you’ll be asked to specify the different sections to be included in your Content Library, which is the central hub of your Notebook. It takes 10 minutes to set up and is well worth investigating. I’ve found OneNote to be massively helpful both during online learning, but beyond it too. Clicking on the highlighted section will begin the process of setting up a OneNote Notebook It is also worth saying OneNote is most effectively used in conjunction with Teams, where you can create a class notebook (see below) which then automatically adds to the Notebook all students in the Teams, but you can use it on its own and without Teams. This is more about how I personally use it.
This is not designed to be a guide as to how to set up OneNote as there are masses of materials on how to do that, whether YouTube tutorials, Microsoft guides, or other online guides. In essence, I use OneNote as a central hub through which to collate and share resources.
This is something I have been doing for a while now and this system works very well for me, whether remote learning or not.
