- Hi there.
Jamie Keet here today at Teacher's Tech.
Hope you're having a great day today.
Today I'm back with Microsoft OneNote for windows 10.
I'm continuing on with my series with the different levels
to show you how to get more out of your OneNote experience
and how to take great notes.
So let's get started here today.
I am going to show you some more tips
on how to do things inside Microsoft OneNote for Windows 10.
If you didn't take a look
at my level one video for this one,
I'll put the link down in the description.
And remember, I am on windows 10.
I explained kinda the difference
between the different versions of OneNote,
so if you're curious about that,
check that out in the first video.
But, so for today I'm continuing on.
I have the similar theme that I worked through
with my level one here.
So I have my Mexico theme.
I was planning a trip in here
and I've just put in some more content
and organized it a bit for the example here today.
But the first thing I just want to show you
is just to do some more formatting on this one.
And so I kind of just showed you how to put things in
and format the text in the last one,
but you can format your pages.
It's pretty easy to do.
This time I'm gonna go up to the tab where it says "View"
and I just want you to take a look at the page color
and rule lines.
And so, I'm just going to go to Rule Lines at first.
You can pick how many lines on it if you want.
And I'll just pick this one here.
So you can see it gives that line, paper look to it.
So this is good if you're gonna line things up,
just if that's the way your mind works
and you like those lines to kinda just organize.
For me I don't use them a lot of times
because I just use it like it's a large canvas
where I can just throw things onto,
my thoughts and my ideas and go from there.
But if this works good for you,
just remember to go to the Rule Lines up here
and then you can work through your colors too.
So, yeah,
we could go through pick a different color of the page
and quickly change it.
The other thing I just wanted to point out,
and I did mention the right clicking before on any of these,
if you wanted to format this over here,
and I'll just go back to the Mexico one,
you can see that we can go through
and change section color over here.
So if you did want a different color,
you can see how you can quickly change those too.
I just wanted to re-mention
that right clicking on any of these
so that you can kinda get that list
of all the different, easy actions that you can do,
whether it be on your sections or on your pages too.
Okay.
So, the next thing I just wanna move on over to
is I'm gonna go back to my home here.
And last time on this I went through most of these tools,
just your basic text formatting,
but I just wanted to point out the tags in this one.
Because the tags can be used to kinda...
I kind of first think of them
as just being able to draw your attention
to something on a page,
but you can actually search these up too,
and I'll show you how to do that.
Now, first of all, to put a tag...
And I'm just going to use this
as an example of something I have already written.
I'm going to go to this list.
I'm just going to click in here
and let's say, I've decided,
okay, I want to make this important.
So I can go ahead and click and it adds a star.
You can see that there's different ones that you can add.
So if I go down, maybe Remember for Later.
So maybe that's remember to check this hotel out for later
and come back to it.
But it's more important
to be able to find these tags afterwards.
Before I show you how to search for them,
I just wanted to point out if you go back to it
you can create your own new tag too.
So if you go ahead and create a tag,
you can see over on the right
you can name your tag.
And this is important especially in the search.
And you can go and, if you had an idea,
pick the light bulb and name it "Idea" like this.
So we could just type it in,
pick our light bulb, hit create
and then we're going to have it here.
So if I go to my tags,
you can see it's right there.
All right.
So, they're pretty easy to use,
you can go through and create new ones,
pick each one that you want.
How do you find them?
So on anything, if you go over to the search here,
so if I go search like this,
you can see right away there's important and different ones
that we have remembered for later.
So if I pick important,
you can see this was the important one right here.
Now I'm just gonna go back to this one.
I just want to show you.
I'm going to pick a question mark for this one
just for example here.
Now notice that if I go down now,
so if I go back,
it doesn't necessarily show up.
So if I come back,
I'm looking for my tags,
it's not going to come up as it.
So what I need to do is actually search for the tag,
so you can see it's "Question",
so if I go ahead,
and now I have to go type "question" up here,
you can see then it pops up.
You just have to remember the name of your tags.
And that's why I said
if you want to remember what you create,
then you can do this search and it will show it down here.
So it's a good way to make things stand out,
it's with tags,
and then you can search for them later.
The next tool,
what I wanna show you inside Microsoft OneNote
is the translator feature.
And so what I did here,
I just set up this little table here.
I created a table of words to learn.
Let's say I wanna go somewhere
and these are maybe some keywords that I wanna learn.
And I just wanna translate them on this page
so maybe I can practice.
So, what I'm going to do is,
under the view tab, just check up top,
click View and then you see Translate here.
So when I click Translate here,
notice it says Selection, and page, and Set Language.
Nothing happens on the selection
because I don't have anything selected.
But if I go to...
I could do the whole page,
but for this purposes I'm just gonna do selection.
So I'm gonna highlight "Hello",
hit Translate Selection.
So now what happens is that you can see over here
I have this selection.
The page is over here,
where it goes through and auto detects
'cause it would find out that it's English
and it would move it over,
but that's something that you can play with.
I just wanna show you a few examples.
You can see how I've set it to Spanish already,
but there are many languages from the list
that you can choose from.
So I'm just going to go through.
You can see the translation translations are here
and maybe some other ones here.
If I like what it says...
I'm going to put this on the other side of the table
and I'm gonna hit insert.
So I could do a single word like this.
You can see how quickly it changes.
I could go ahead...
I wanna to the other side here,
I wanna insert it,
and I'll just go to this larger one.
And again, how fast it goes in like this.
So I can use translation in that way,
but even if you just grab a larger chunk of text like this,
you can see it moves it pretty quickly over to Spanish.
I can't vouch for how accurate it is for the translation,
but I think it would get the message across
if you're trying to communicate
and find out key parts of the language
of what's written to understand it.
Now, the next thing I wanna show you is another great tool.
And I really look at this one
more maybe in the learning world,
but for anybody this is a great tool
and Microsoft has it built into a lot of their apps
like Word and other ones,
but we have Immersive Reader.
And what Immersive Reader does,
so I'm gonna click on Immersive Reader
and it just took that page
and it's gonna read it to me if I want,
but it can do other things too.
So if I just click on rock,
you can-- - [Immersive Reader] Rock.
- It will just say that one word.
Or I can go to the next one.
- [Immersive Reader] Formation.
- And I could go word by word.
I could hit Play down at the bottom.
- [Immersive Reader] Rock formation, beside, body,
water, Tulum.
- And it will just read through this.
But you can even break this down.
I really like this tool.
I know in the education system we've used read, write,
but I've really liked what immersive reader is doing
and how it connects with all the Microsoft products.
But you can play around with the different...
If you want the text size different
you can increase the spacing depending on
what will help a person read,
we have our font,
there are themes all through here.
Go through.
I could turn on,
okay, what are the nouns?
And right away it starts to go through
and highlight some of the words.
So you can just slide them off
and you can see how it will go through
to the verbs after that.
But you can play with all these different settings here
and at the very bottom,
you could have a male or female voice and change the speed.
So, at any point you could go down,
I could go pick an area,
I could jump ahead,
you can see how it even gives a picture to help understand,
and then I can just hit play.
- [Immersive Reader] Travel through the Mayan jungle
on this action-packed...
- Just like that.
So a great tool inside Microsoft OneNote to use.
The last tool that I wanna show you
in this tutorial here today is the Researcher tool.
So where it is,
is if I go over to Insert, the tab,
and look in the ribbon at the very end,
you see I have Researcher.
Before I go to Researcher I'm gonna create a new page here
as a sub page to Tulum.
I'm just gonna right click, New Page.
And I'm gonna call this...
We'll just call this "Research"
just so, let's say, I'm gonna dive deeper
with things I want to know about Tulum.
I'm gonna just move this up, right click
and I'm gonna create a sub page.
So now I have Tulum as my main page here...
Tulum is actually a sub page of the East Coast,
but I have another sub page here.
Okay.
So, the Researcher tool.
Under the Insert tab,
all the way at the end of the ribbon we have Researcher.
And what this allows me to do
is search right inside Microsoft OneNote.
So if I go ahead and maybe I'm looking for Tulum,
I can type in "Tulum" here
and I get some information.
You can see I have these relevant topics here.
As I go down, I have a journal article, I have...
Everything is listed as all,
but I could click on Journals, Websites,
so we'll filter it out through here.
So let's say if I just wanted this Tulum right here
and it opens this up.
This is just from Wikipedia.
If I wanna insert this in,
you can see if I hit the plus right here, add to page,
it goes right inside of it.
Here I have the link to the Wikipedia page
that I can click on and go to.
Under the websites here, any of these ones,
if I just click on the plus,
you can see how it just will add a title and link,
so maybe I'm just looking for these websites
and I'm just clicking and adding them after.
So the Researcher tool gives you a way
that you can research right inside
of your Microsoft OneNote without even having to leave,
so it's very efficient that way to be looking through there.
Now, one thing I just wanna mention,
researcher tip here,
it is part of the subscription model of OneNote.
I have a subscription to Microsoft office 365
so it's there.
If you're using the free version,
this is one of the ones I talked about in the level one,
the free version is great
most of the features are there,
but this is one of the ones
that is part of the subscription model
that you do have to pay for.
So if it's not there, that is why.
So, this is the end of my tutorial today on level two
for Microsoft OneNote for Windows 10.
I do have a level three coming out,
so make sure you watch that.
Let me know how you're using OneNote
and maybe what things you'd like to learn about OneNote.
I know I have a lot of people asking me about printing
and some other things,
and I'll show you that in the upcoming levels that I have,
that will be coming out.
Thanks for watching on Teacher's Tech this week,
I'll see you next time with more tech tips and tutorials.
