OneNote with Microsoft

With digitools we have explored the functions of Microsoft OneNote. The functions are quite similiar to Evernote, although this is a program that comes with the Microsoft Enterprise 2010. I was introduced it through the class by my teacher, and quite frankly, I like it. Its very handy and it doesn't take a lot of computer knowledge to use it so many people could understand and work together on it.

It comes with many functions including writing in tables without having to bother with text boxes. There are also digital functions such as clickable checkboxes and versatile icons. I like Onenote and would like to have the ability to use this program during class. Another convienant function is that you can type anywhere on the page. This is nice because you can label diagrams and photos. My favorite function is the screen clipping button. While on the internet you can find a picture and if you want to have just the picture but not the website around it, you can click the screen clipping button and crop that picture right from the internet into your notes, with a citation. This would be easy to use when researching a topic and needing to citate everything.

So between OneNote and Evernote, I like Onenote better. Just so many functions that we can use to better our note taking in the digital future. I would strongly recommened checking both out, though. Evernote is a website that requires a log in and it saves all your notes to their database. Everyone you allow can view them, and they can be shared onto sites like Facebook and Twitter, even a better way to help classmates or buisness associates use your knowledge.
