Being a college student on the go, a notebook computer is essential to my academic success. I have been fortunate enough to be a Beta Tester for Microsoft OneNote, and this program is amazing. Designed for Tablet PCs, it still works great on my Desktop and Notebook.

I am capable of typing all my notes as the professor lectures. Many students enjoy paper and pen due to the ability to draw and sketch as needed. OneNote allows you to use mouse or touch pad to enter charts, graphs, or sketches right into the notes. Notes are easy to print, save, share, and sort with OneNote.

In the past I always wrote my notes and had to try to pay attention to the professor, read the overheads, and write straight and legibly so I could read the notes for later. I always had to try and read three different things at a time. Now, I can just type away while looking at the professor and overheads allowing me to pay better attention to the professor.
Why is this better than Word? Because it is designed with the power of Word, but with all the easy to access tools needed for Note taking. Colored Pens tools, fonts, bullets, outlines, all easily accessible from the Menus.

While I love my Notebook computer, I love it even more with OneNote!

Microsoft OneNote, making College Students Life easier!!!

I usually adhere to low-tech solutions to my problems, but note-taking and organization has always been something I've failed miserably at. OneNote has been an absolute blessing. I can sit in class and look-up what the teacher is talking about with Google or Wikipedia and then copy images/text directly from web pages into OneNote. It's incredibly simple to use. My only complaint is that it deviates from standard Office formatting practices in that I can't use predefined or define a set of styles for text. If I want to have a subject heading, I just have to bold it and increase the font manually. Overall, I'm still really happy with it, though. I've barely touched the full functionality of OneNote and am curious to see what else it can do.
