What is OneNote?

OneNote, part of the office365 suite (microsoft software everybody at the LSE has access to) is a notebook application, essentially a virtual, electronic equivalent to a physical notebook.

Info

OneNote is a shareable note taking app. There’s nothing magical educational about it, but might help to organise student work and allow them to collaborate.

You can get the office 365 for free via this DTS page. (Or go straight to ttps://www.office.com/ and login and download or use via a web browser).

Teachers can also set up a class notebook, which is one setup, but shared between teachers and each individual students.
