OneNote

Re. One Note – I am one who has tried it all more than once. I will admit I have issues re. planning. I need a well-laid out plan, but flexibility. I’m still getting it all into One Note in a way I like, but it’s essentially a subject planner notebook in Digital form. I have a notebook for each kid with these tabs:

• Attendance with Pages for each term with clickable calendars
• Weekly Plan or Checklist – unfinished as of yet, but gives the idea
• Subject Tabs across the top

  • Pages for Each Book or Resource Used
  • Math Sample
  • History Sample
  • History Sample RA
  • History Sample
  • Science Sample – I have links to online class with reminder of login info (blacked out). I have a sub-page with the class syllabus, at the bottom of the page, I have a link to quizlet where dd manages her science vocab. 

I hope the screen shots help. I’m still finishing setting up the digital notebooks and don’t have time to explain it all, but I’m liking how easy the set up is and how I can link websites, files, etc. Kids can link their typed narrations. The kids have this on their computer to check off and it syncs online so I can see it on my computer, too. I like that I can easily change our weekly schedule week to week without reprinting or add a book or whatever. The kids work off the weekly plan to know what to do each day and if their unsure exactly what’s up for history, they click that tab. It’s sort of like the best of my paper planner and the CMO rolled into one, I think. 

HTH,

PS – We have not used these yet. Well dd13 has because her online science classes began this week, but I have high hopes that the full plan with options for flexibility works well for us.
