If you are a student with access to a computer or tablet, this blog is for you! Going through our academic careers today has so many advantages. With the move towards digital educational materials, we no longer have to lug around multiple heavy textbooks and notebooks. But how can we continue and improve our organization to optimize our study habits and, ultimately, our grades? The past year, I made the switch to digital note taking with the Microsoft application OneNote; students with a school email can download it for free on any device. These tricks have helped keep my notes creative and organized when planning for my classes or studying for that big test!

Use ‘Tags’ to locate critical words quickly when studying.

  1. Quickly add and edit notes with keyboard shortcuts. When you’re taking notes in class, there’s not always time to bold, italicize, and bullet. But with OneNote’s keyboard shortcuts, it’s easier and faster than ever. Quickly add tags, format your notes with headings, or insert tables – all without your mouse.
  2. If you are looking for Note Taking Template Microsoft Word you’ve come to the right place. We have 18 images about Note Taking Template Microsoft Word including images, pictures, pdf, wword, and more. In these page, we also have variety of images available. Such as png, jpg, animated gifs, pdf, word, excel, etc.
  3. If Microsoft shuts down OneNote what note taking app would you move to that has both mobile and a desktop application, and would Microsoft give advanced notice to their users and the ability to export their notes in a standard file format?

This note-taking tablet supports Apple's Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil, and Smart Keyboard Folio, giving you plenty of alternatives for taking notes. Plus, the iPad Pro has a 10-hour battery life, as well as FaceID, so you can unlock the tablet without a password. Effectively taking notes is a core skill for professionals, and Microsoft MVP Heather Severino shows you how to get and stay organized with better notes in Microsoft 365.

Tags are the OneNote equivalent of sticky tabs or bookmarks. They allow you to flag certain words, sentences, or entire sections under a specific category. Some of the tags available include Important, Question, Definition, Remember for Later, and To-do. OneNote also allows you to create your tag label for quick note organization. You can later search up the tag, and a list of all the items you have applied that tag to will appear.

Use the Math feature to write and solve math problems quickly.

The Math feature is my favorite. The Math button, located under the ‘Insert’ and ‘Draw’ tabs, not only allows you to convert ink math equations to text, but it solves the problems, too! It also has the option to view a step-by-step solution to the math problem. This feature is my favorite because I do a lot of math in my area of study, and it helps that I can quickly do some calculations in my notes without reaching for my calculator or opening a separate app. A bonus is that it works with both handwritten ink and typed text.

Insert printouts to your notebook.

This feature is my most used, especially since we’ve begun distance learning. My professors provide most of our study material through printouts, but this feature makes it so that I don’t have to worry about actually printing it out. I can simply print the document straight into OneNote or download it to my computer and upload it into my notebook. From there, I can highlight and annotate it as necessary.

Choose ruled lines option for page structure.

When making the switch from physical notebooks to OneNote, the endless pages on the app can seem overwhelming. One feature that allows me the familiarity of loose-leaf paper is the ‘Ruled Lines’ option. This feature will enable you to add ruled or grid lines of different widths and sizes to keep your notes aligned and organized. There is also the option to have all your notebooks automatically ruled to your preference.

Digital notes have been proven an essential tool in the future of education. There is so much it has to offer, which all leads to the remarkable convenience. OneNote is one of the many apps and programs out there to help you stay organized in a digital world. These features are just a few of the many more it has, to continue and improve our organization to optimize our study habits.
