Some of you are using OneNote with your students in a Class Notebook format, but you don't have to go through all those steps to encourage students to use OneNote to keep track of their personal notes.
If you ordinarily have students keep a notebook that you don't check, why not give them a choice of creating a subject specific notebook in OneNote?
Students will have to log into their Office 365 Accounts to sync their notes to the cloud. But if they have OneDrive on their iPads, and are already logged in, it may automagically log them in when they open it. This would be an amazing tool for sketchnoting (see article below) or math since it allows students to use draw tools, choose between paper types like a grid or lined paper and they can add photos!
The app also has palm detection, which means you can use the app with a stylus and it will detect your palm and not mess up your annotation or drawing.
You can use OneNote to sync your notes to multiple devices - iPad, phone and computer. This might be a great way for you to keep track of student data, lesson notes or important ideas you want to remember. You can also use it as a quick way to show students how to annotate documents.
