I have OneNote available to me through my school as we utilize Microsoft 360. I do not utilize OneNote extensively, but there are several uses for it. Before starting this assignment, I decided to utilize it for my Project Based Learning assignment for my 7-12 band and choir. The project is for them to coordinate and perform in a fundraising concert for our music department. Doing so can be extremely tricky with so many individuals. So, I thought OneNote would be the perfect platform to keep the students organized.
You can see below how I have set up the preliminary notebook.
I appreciate how easy it is to work through as it functions in the same manner as all other Microsoft Office programs. Most of the tools are pretty straight forward once you understand how they function. Setting up the Notebook was easy. I created a section for the To Do list and utilized the "To Do" function. That is an awesome tool to keep things formatted neatly and keep track of what has been done. This tool could very easily be used to create a weekly or daily checklist. Perhaps, you have lesson plans outlined weekly in the section pages, and then you can add pages under each week's section to keep you organized in that manner.
I am going to utilize the collaboration space as a forum for the students to record their ideas, track their progress, and anything else that might arise from the PBL process. I have not invited my students into this space yet as I am not ready to integrate it at this time. This function could easily be used for any type of collaboration: professional development, co-teaching, group projects, and more. I believe that the only limits would be the ones that are created due to lack of creativity. The Content Library will house the peer evaluation sheet, grading rubric, and other documents that become pertinent to the PBL. Other uses could include uploading worksheets, lecture notes, and other documents that pertain to the purpose of your Notebook.
