If the notebooks are easy to find, then they are easy to manage and share. Class Notebooks also need to be together in a place that is easy to find for the teacher. They know which box or folders they need to take to their next class. In the physical world, a teacher knows where their classrooms are.
Now thinking of OneNote Class Notebooks, they need to be somewhere that they are easily found, connected to, shared and maintained. We don’t want to scare them off by saying, “to use this new tool for your class you need to click here, here and then here and finally over here.” If a school intranet is well designed, the class environments and sites will be a two or three clicks away. This is particularly important for our teachers who we are trying to encourage to use technology more. Teachers have enough challenges in the day and finding their virtual learning environments shouldn’t be one of them. Whether it be a site, a notebook, an external service or site. Microsoft Class Dashboard - coming soon to Office 365 EducationĪ virtual class environment needs to be easy to find. I also believe that the announcement of the coming Microsoft Classroom Dashboard will centre around teachers storing notebooks in OneDrive for Business.
Now I see that it doesn’t matter too much where the class notebook lives, as long as your teachers now how to use the Class Notebook app, understand the notebook structure and can pick up a few things about using OneNote. Let’s talk about that because initially I had reservations about the move. When you create a notebook using the Class Notebook app from the app launcher, your notebook will be stored in the teacher’s personal storage in your school - OneDrive for Business (OneDriveFB). So worldwide, Microsoft will be making the OneNote Class Notebook app available to all teachers and faculty using Office 365 Education and placing the app in the My Apps page in the App Launcher. Some schools were not managing to deploy the Class Notebook app using the recommended method. This change is currently rolling out in the US. The OneNote Class Notebook app used to create and manage class notebooks is being added to the Office 365 app launcher ( ).
