- Hi there.
Jamie Keet here today at Teacher's Tech.
Hope you're having a great day today.
Today I'm continuing on with my OneNote for Windows 10 series.
This is level three now,
and I'm going to focus on just tips and tricks in this one.
In my first two videos,
I did give tips and tricks along the way,
but this video, I just want to pull out some of the things
that I think that are really powerful
inside Microsoft OneNote for Windows 10.
Let's get started on these seven tips today.
I'll put the links to the other videos that I mentioned
down below in the description,
and I'll put the playlist up top in the card
so you can just click on it and check out the other videos
easily as well.
Also I'll timestamp this video.
So look in the description.
You'll be able to jump around this video
if there's something that peaks your interest.
You can click on it and go right there
without having to watch the whole video.
So let's start with tip number one today.
So if you've been following my other tutorials,
my level one and level two OneNote tutorials,
you would have known I've was creating something
around for traveling.
And I was looking at Tulum.
I'm just going to bring in a research page,
'cause the first thing I want to show you
is the web clipper.
And I'll show you how to install this in a moment
after I show you how it works.
But the extension, you can see the One Note web clipper
is right here.
I'm just going to go ahead and click on it.
And I have it here.
It's going to come up and it's going to generate a page,
a full page preview just like this.
And because I have full page selected,
I could do a region too.
So what that means is I could go to a certain region
and how it's darkened and I could just grab it like this
and then it will show me what's going to go
into my OneNote, what page I select.
Or maybe I want to do the articles.
So you can see at this point it's pulling just the text out.
It makes it an easy to read one.
Or I could just bookmark it if I find a page
and it'll put it in through this way.
So I'm just going to go back to region.
I'm going to close this
and I'm going to take a different region.
I'll just take this.
I'll have some pictures in it, just as an example.
Then it's going to pop up and where do I want it to go?
Well, I don't want it to go to "Travel Disneyland."
I drop down.
You do need to be logged into your account, same account.
I'm going to go to Mexico here
and I'm going to go ahead and hit clip.
I'm going to go over to my OneNote
and show you what it looks like.
I'm back here in my Microsoft OneNote for Windows 10.
And you can see it put it in this section
and created a brand new page right here
with the selection that I picked here.
And remember you can move these around.
So this page, if I want it to be a subsection of Tulum,
I'm just going to drag it back up with research
and it's going to be a subsection up there.
So where do you get this extension?
I'll put the link down below to this page.
I'll just bring this across here.
This one will recognize your browser.
I'm on Chrome, so that's where the extension
would be added to.
But you just go ahead, click on it, add to Chrome.
And this will add the extension and you go through
and it's going to add the extension up top.
I'm just going to click on this here.
And you can see it opens up here.
Now you do have to be logged in.
There's the sign in here, sign out.
To make sure you're logged in.
But what I like also to do is pin this.
So if I pin this, it will stay right up there
for easy access.
So take a look if you haven't used the web clipper
in OneNote for Microsoft Windows 10.
It's a great little feature to use.
So tip number two for OneNote for Microsoft Windows here
is about cropping images.
Now, if you notice, if I click on this image
that I just brought in, there's no crop.
I can size it very quickly
by grabbing the handles and moving it.
And I can move this around.
That's it easy to do, but you won't find a crop on the menu.
So what you can do is a little bit of a workaround
if you're on Windows 10.
And I'm going to give you the shortcut here.
You're going to hold the three keys all at once.
You're going to hold the Windows logo key
at the bottom of your keyboard,
and you're going to hold the shift and the S key.
And so you notice what that does, it darkens it here.
And this allows you to take a screenshot of a certain area.
So I'm going to go and just pick this part of the image.
Let's say, I just want this and I let go.
And now you'd be wondering, well, where did it go?
It's able to cut.
You're able to copy paste it now.
So if I pick a different area,
so if I just pick over here and I'll just move down
and I'm just going to go control V,
you can see it pasted that image inside of here
that I took from the above one.
So that's a little bit of a work around
when you are needing to crop a certain part of a image
inside OneNote.
And you can just use that shortcut.
This time, I want to show you the math tool
inside Microsoft OneNote for Microsoft Windows 10.
And I'm going to do first is just draw
a simple equation here.
I could type it in,
but I'm just going to draw for an example.
This'll be a little bit messy,
but just to kind of show you what you can do with this.
If I had a tablet it would work much better
if I had my pen out here,
but I'm just going to write a equation here.
All I'm going to do is say X over three plus X over two.
And I'm going to say equals.
We're going to say one over six, just like that.
So kind of messy and everything.
Maybe I was taking notes.
What you can do inside OneNote is solve this.
I'm going to click on the math right here,
and it walks you through the steps to how to do this
on the right here.
But I'm going to go ahead and select this,
what I just wrote.
So lasso select.
I'm going to pick it
and I'm going to draw the selection tool.
I missed it a bit.
I'll just draw it again this way.
So I've selected everything here.
And now if I pick the math tool,
you can see it says X over three plus X over two
equals one over six.
That is what I wrote.
You could see if I could fix it if it wasn't right,
but I can say ink to math at this time.
And it turns it right into this.
So it turned it into a font.
And that's not all it can do.
So watch this, if I drop down, I can solve for X.
I can graph both sides in 2D or graph in 2D.
So if I go solve for X, I can even show the steps of this.
So you can see as it breaks it down
and even has "Generate a Practice Quiz" for this one.
But I could go and even graph it
and insert this onto the page like this.
So this is a handy little feature,
something fun to play with.
The one thing I want to just to make note
is if you don't see this math tool inside
of your Microsoft OneNote for Windows 10,
it is part of the subscription of it.
So I have a subscription service with Microsoft 365.
So you do need that to access the math tool
like I just showed.
You might have it if you're a student
and have access through the school that you're at.
Another great tool,
and this is also part of the Microsoft 365
subscription part of OneNote,
is the replay tool.
And let me show you what this does.
I really think this would be great for school,
if you're taking notes and want to see kind of the process
of how you took your notes.
If I go...
and I'm just going to go to the back of the draw tool,
and I'm just going to do some quick sketching here,
I'm going to point at this picture like so,
and I'll draw a couple of different things.
And I'm going to grab a highlighter
and I'm going to highlight this.
I'm just going to go back to my text tool,
and I'm just going to click up here and say,
"This is..." I'll just put "great," like so.
So maybe the process was important
of how I took those notes at different points.
If I go back to the view tab and then across to replay,
and it's saying drag to the select area you want to replay.
Well, if I highlight over this area,
you can kind of see how things came together.
So maybe you were sketching, taking notes,
and that order is helpful for you to remember
how things went.
That replay function could be a great one for you.
I really like this feature of being able to send your emails
right to OneNote, to keep everything organized.
So if I was planning my trip, as I used for an example,
maybe I have my itineraries.
Or maybe I had a PDF of something in an email.
I could have those emails sent right into OneNote.
So it makes everything very easily organized
in that one place.
So this is how you do it.
I'll put the link down below of this page
in the description below the web clipper one.
It's very easy to set up.
You're going to just go set up your email to OneNote.
So you're going to put in your information
right through here.
So now that I've logged in.
connected my OneNote account to this,
all the emails that I send to me@onenote.com
will go into my notebooks.
So where is it going to save to?
It's going to be saved to by default, what I choose here.
So if I was working on my planning my trip,
I wanted an itinerary in there.
Maybe that that's where I make my default through here.
But you can actually change the default.
They give you a little tip here on the side
by using the @ symbol here.
So if you using the @ symbol followed by the section name
in the end of your email subject line, just like this.
So there's a little tip that they give you this.
So make sure you connect your email,
and then when you send to me@onenote.com
that it's going to be sent over to your OneNote
where you can keep track of your emails in this one place.
So with this tip, I want to show you
how you can permanently delete a notebook
in Microsoft OneNote.
So if you go up here, you've probably noticed
if you've tried to delete any, you can't.
You can close them.
So if I was going to go to maybe this YouTube one here,
you can see, I get different options.
If I right click on it, I can close this notebook.
And it's not in my list anymore of different notebooks.
It didn't get deleted.
So if I go back and go to "More Notebooks,"
you can see it's just right here
and I can go ahead and open and it will be back here.
So I'm just going to go ahead and open up.
I'm going to log into office.com
and show you in OneDrive how to delete it.
So I just logged into office.com.
You can see all my different online apps that I have.
Here's OneNote right here.
So I'm going to go ahead and click on it.
So this is OneNote.
Remember, you can work in the online environment too.
I could open these all up here.
But I want to delete a notebook.
So this time I'm going to just go to OneDrive here.
And I do have video all about OneDrive,
I'll put the link down below here.
But you can see if I actually wanted
to delete a notebook now,
I would delete it through here.
So if I just right click on here,
you'll be able to see we can delete it.
As soon as we select here,
we do have the different commands up top
where I can delete it here as well.
So if I go ahead and delete it, this will be gone from it.
So I won't be able to re-access it through the way
I just showed you at the beginning
by closing and opening it.
But a lot of times, if people want delete one,
this is where you're going to have to go to do that.
For my last tip, number seven today,
I want to show you how you can directly scan from your phone
and send it to Microsoft OneNote for Windows.
And this can be done really easily
if you're using the Microsoft Office Lens app.
And this is good for iPhone,
or if it's on your Android, just download it and install it.
I'm going to go ahead and open up Lens here.
And I'm just going to hover over a document.
I'm not going to go very far in depth with the lens,
I'll put a different tutorial to the link down below.
But I'm just going to snap, I'm under document.
I'm just going to snap a photo of that.
And I'm going to go ahead and hit confirm.
And you can see how quickly it straightens things up on it.
And you could even do a better job
if you want to spend some time
taking a look at down below at some of the filters
and cropping and such.
But I'm going to hit done.
And OneNote is one of the options here.
So if I go OneNote on this one, you'll see the location.
I already had one location selected,
but I can pick different locations on this too.
All the different ones that I've created before
on OneNote are here.
So I'm going to put this in documents
and select important like so.
And I'm just going to hit save like this.
So now it's moving all this over.
So let's go back over and check it
inside my Microsoft OneNote.
I'm just going to go over to that documents one right here,
you can see documents.
And here is what I scanned directly to
the important section.
It created its own page.
I could rename it just like I've shown you
in past tutorials.
So I find this is a really handy feature
to be able to just take those snapshots,
push it right to OneNote from your mobile device.
So I hoped you liked these seven tips today.
Hopefully they make you more productive inside OneNote.
Check out my lesson to give you a couple of other tips
on things like immersive reader
and the researcher tool that is really cool.
But I'll put the links to those below in the description.
Thanks for watching this time on Teachers Tech.
I'll see you next time with more tech tips and tutorials.
