OneNote
While inspiration can come from anywhere, it should all end up in OneNote.

OneNote in education
Schoolwork includes a lot of information, and OneNote helps you, your students, and your teachers capture it all, on all your devices. With it, everyone can stay organized, share lessons, work together, and even spark their creativity. While inspiration can come from anywhere, it should all end up in OneNote.

Inspires your students’ creativity
Set your students’ creativity free by giving them the tools they need to work the way they want to. If they like to type, OneNote handles text, checklists, tables, attachments, and links with ease. And if they like to hand-write notes and sketch diagrams, it turns handwriting into typed text automatically. They can even write anywhere on the page—just like on paper—without worrying about the layout.

Helps teachers stay organized
Make your teachers’ jobs easier by giving them the tools they need to stay organized. In OneNote, they can organize their lesson plans and course content in searchable digital notebooks. Each has a personal workspace for every student, a content library for handouts, and a collaboration space for lessons and creative activities. And they can be viewed from any device, online or offline.

Makes creating and sharing lessons easy
Creating interesting lessons is easier than ever in OneNote Class Notebooks. Starting from their existing lesson plans, your teachers can add web content, videos, and audio recordings—for custom lessons that get their students’ attention. They simply share the digital notebook—no more class handouts—to assign work. And students can highlight, annotate, sketch, take notes, and turn in their homework—all in the same notebook.

Enables real-time class collaboration
Give your teachers and students an easy way to collaborate. In OneNote Class Notebook, students can ask for help, and teachers can give their support—directly in the student's private notebook. And the notebook’s collaboration space encourages students to work together as the teacher provides real-time coaching.
