Week 4

This week we continued on using OneNote. It was kind of nice to hear what other people thought OneNote should be used for during a class discussion. I can easily come up with my own personal uses but it’s another thing to hear what others think. They came up with some interesting ideas and thought of places that could use OneNote that I honestly wouldn’t have thought of. This included everything from medical office use to a rolodex of clients.
Another point that was brought up would be using OneNote from an academic standpoint by using it to help organize a research paper. Different segments of the paper could be organized within OneNote, such as introduction in one area, purpose of research in another, and so on. It could also be ideal when sources need to be organized. A source’s URL could be pasted in and additional notes about that source could be written or highlighted. If they are necessary to the research pictures could be included with this as well.
If a presentation needs to be prepared for the workplace OneNote still fits the bill. Since it is possible to have multiple users, on a collaborative presentation everyone would be able to see and access the same thing. Also because OneNote integrates other Microsoft programs, if different parts of the presentation were in Work or Excel for example, they could be used within one program rather than being all over the place. Organization seems far simpler when everything is in one location.
Next week we will have to prepare for our quiz on OneNote, it really flew by. But I’m also dreading starting Access. I’m currently in the Access class and it is far from easy. I really have to devote the time when working with Access. But hopefully because I will have Access in two different classes it will give me more of a perspective with the program. I just don’t want it to turn into a big headache because frustration often comes with Access.
