Default OneNote Templates are Lacking

Started by adminid · 10 months ago

Microsoft’s OneNote website recommends students keep a notebook for school and inside the notebook, each class gets a section. In fact, OneNote comes with template notebook and pages to keep you school work organized. Although I like the idea, I think it is poorly executed and s ... Continue reading »

That's actually exactly how I have mire set up. It's more like a binder for each class instead of a folder. :)

For myself, I have each class in a section rather than a folder with various sections. It may well be the volume for myself is lower than your classes as I take much of my school work through online classes. Living in a rural location, I don't have access to high-speed and driving to school (no buses) means taking 2.5 hours out of my day, let alone the class.

As a result, I download class lectures, handouts, assignment sheets, etc. into a folder inside My Documents and only keep my personal notes inside OneNote 2003. Yes, this is a heavy download but I can make the drive into town, locate a hot spot, download the entire course work, then drive home. It is more efficient than attending lectures for me.

However, once I can use the new release, I may well be dropping files into OneNote 2007 and using that as an extended filing system. I like the thought of linking a Windows media audio file to OneNote comments and may well change my method to suit that requirement.

I have not downloaded the new Office Beta because:
1 - Low-speed download access
2 - Some classwork may potentially be incompatible with the new release. Why should I blow a class just to work on the latest and greatest?
3 - Some of my clients (I have a business on the side) require consistent and proven technology. I can not afford the potential of a failure for them and, while I love being cutting edge, I must balance my client's needs with my love of technology. And my clients pay my schooling.

Hey Tracy,

Now that I think about it. It is like a "binder" for each of my classes. Thanks for extending the analogy.

Tim,

OneNote 2007 isn't ready for prime time yet. I have had a few problems with it and lost some of the class work. The biggest problem I have so far is OneNote 2003 can't open the 2007 files yet.

So far, OneNote 2007 is very impressive and I hardly look back at OneNote 2003 anymore.
