This week’s pick of the week is Microsoft One Note with Office 365. I use my OneNote App every single day and all day. I once never understood the need for OneNote or the very similar Evernote, however, needing to use a large amount of digital documents for school has forced me to use it. I am enjoying the flexibility that it provides to me. Here at the school I am attending, many of the documents and study materials are digital—either PDF or MS Word. I needed a way to keep track of them all, and highlight in them, and it would be really good to have them synchronize with my main laptop. One Note does all of this.
On my iPad, I am able to bring in PDFs into a notebook on OneNote and read and highlight from there. One weakness with OneNote is that the transfer of MSWord Documents in the Notebooks are not as simple, but can easily be done from the desktop version and the sync into the iPad. Another work around for Word documents is the save them as a PDF in iPad Books and then mail the PDF to yourself to them be converted. Not ideal—but it works. The best thing that one note does for me is to help me organize my class materials in notebooks all inside my iPad. I can bring in webpages, PDFs, Word Documents, and photos into a Notebook to help me keep on top of my school work. OneNote has been a great asset.
I can also use OneNote to store personal documents and articles that I read from Feedly or the web. OneNote is a great resource as a digital place to store and reference digital notes.
