Digital Tools for Note-taking Productive Microsoft OneNote Learning by Deputy DRAR Coleene Villanueva Rotaract Club of RCDM Scholars
OneNote comes individually and is part of Microsoft Office suite’s productivity software programs. It is arguably one of the best note-taking software out in the market. This application allows you to collect, organize and share pictures, videos and handwritten notes. The program uses a five-level hierarchical organizational structure that gives you more power over how you organize the folders and subfolders in which you place notes. You may also synchronize OneNote across multiple devices using mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
Notability The emergence of modern smart technologies and the internet has greatly disrupted our means of learning and productivity. Traditional learning strategies such as pen-and-paper notetaking, calendars, and flashcards are set aside as more online learning applications take the stage. If you want to step up your learning and productivity in the new normal, then these digital tools are probably worth checking out for you.
If you have an Ipad, then Notability works best for you. It literally is like an electric notebook where you can take notes, doodle, and sketch at the same time. With an Apple Pencil, you can maximize taking notes using different colors to emphasize your notes. It also has a search function that will go through your hand-written notes by inputting keywords. Saving your notes in PDF is also easy with Notability since it can capture one whole page. The app offers a delightful writing experience, yet it also makes it easy to embed images, annotate PDFs, and even record voice memos. Moreover, Notability includes a variety of flexible layout options. For instance, it allows the user to have a slide or reference material open on one side of the page while you take notes on the other.
