Wiss21 - LoudCloud Page 1

There are several different ways to deliver content to students via OneNote. Read on to review the different ways with tips for each.

Method #1: Type Directly in OneNote

This is by far the best way to deliver content to students in OneNote. When you type directly on the page, the content is inherent to OneNote and the students simply need to type on the page to respond, click, and interact with your content.

Tip #1 - You don't have to reinvent the wheel! Try copy and pasting from already-created documents. Simply open the document in Word, Select all (Ctl + A), Copy (Ctl+C) and go to OneNote and Paste (Ctl+V). Some formatting may be lost, but you can then edit within the OneNote page to get it the way you want it.

Tip #2 - Use a 1-cell table for students to type in to answer questions, respond to prompts, etc. This provides an area for the students to respond and you will know exactly where to look for their answers. The cell will grow as large as it needs to, to contain the student's response.

Method #2: File Printout

If you already have Word or PDF documents of content you would like to deliver to students and you don't have the time to copy/paste, then the second best option to deliver content is to use a File Printout. File Printouts are also the best way to provide a teacher-created PowerPoint or SMART Notebook presentation to students.

Tip #1 - When you insert a File Printout, right-click on it and choose "Set picture as background". This then allows the students to interact with the content by creating text-boxes, using highlighters, etc. If you do not do this, then students will need to double-click on the printout before they can

Example

NOTE: SMART Notebook files must be exported as PDF documents for File Printouts to work. If you want students to interact with your SMART Notebook file, use Method #3.

Delivering Content Via OneNote


etc. If you do not do this, then students will need to double-click on the printout before they can annotate and/or type.

Tip #2 - OneNote is a printer! You can print from any application directly into a specific OneNote Notebook. If you would like to print into OneNote, simply choose "Send to OneNote 2013" as your printer from the printing dialog box and then select the Notebook, section and page where you would like your document to go:

Method #3: File attachment

The final way to deliver content to students is to simply attach files to the OneNote page. This is the "down & dirty" quick way to get the files to the students and is perfect for when you want to actually give the students a file in its inherent file format (Word, PPT, SMART notebook, etc.)

Tip #1: When a file that is inserted into a page is edited and saved, the changes are automatically saved back to the file in the OneNote page for each student. Although it is also a good idea for them to file-> save as.. Into their Documents library, the changes will be in the attached file as well.

Tip #2: You can drag files right into OneNote from your Desktop, Documents library, anywhere! When you drag in, you will get the option to attach or do a file printout.

NOTE: SMART Notebook is also a printer and you can directly print right into it too!

Please follow the directions below to create NEW OneNote Notebooks. This can be done either in school or at home.

Click "File" and select "New". You will see the window below.1.Choose "Computer".2.Type in a name for your Notebook. (Please don't put a space after your last word in the notebook name as it causes errors!)

3.

Click "Create Notebook".4.

When you create OneNote Notebooks this way, the notebooks are automatically created in a folder called "OneNote Notebooks" in your Documents library/folder. This is the default location and you should not change it.

•

OneNote Notebooks are represented by File Folders in this folder in your Documents library. Each folder is a OneNote Notebook. Click into the folder and then click "Open Notebook" to open it up. If you just select one of the sections/tabs, only that section/tab will open.

•

Important Notes and Tips

When you create a OneNote Notebook this way, you may see on orange bar/message on the top of your pages like the one below. We have not had any issues with syncing and/or lost any content so you can IGNORE this message.

•

If you are at the HS or MS, last year you were directed to create your OneNote notebooks on the H: drive and were given directions to do so - to help with the orange message above (you won't get it if your notebooks are on the H: drive.) You can still follow those directions and create your notebooks on the H: drive, but you will not be able to do that at home, or open up ones from the H: drive from home or anywhere outside of the WSD network.

•

If you are getting the message above and it bothers you, contact Dianne Krause who will send you the directions on how to create on the H: drive! :)

You, and the students, can create and collaborate on PowerPoint presentations simply by placing them into the Shared Documents area of your SharePoint site. Follow the steps below to learn how to set up, edit, and save collaborate PowerPoints.

Step 1: Creating Folders on SharePoint In order for your SharePoint page to stay organized, it is recommended that you first create a folder for "Student Work" in the Shared Documents Area of your SharePoint site. Then, create folders within that folder for the specific projects that the students will be working on. Click this link to learn how to create folders on your SharePoint site: Creating Folders and File Management on SharePoint

Step 2: Setting Up a Blank PowerPointThis may be done by the teacher or the students, but the next step after creating the folders is for one person (teacher or one student in group) to create a blank PowerPoint presentation and save it to their desktop for uploading. Be sure the file name is unique!

Step 3: Uploading to SharePointNavigate to the folder created in Step 1 and upload the PowerPoint. You can drag and drop the PowerPoint into the correct folder or you can click "New Document" and then click "Upload Existing File" to browse to get it. Delete the original file from the desktop - no longer needed!

Step 4: Opening & Editing the PowerPointOnce the PowerPoint is uploaded to the correct folder, group members/students

Collaborative PowerPoint on SharePoint


https://sharepoint.wsdweb.org/sites/wiss21/Tutorial%20Videos/SharePoint/Creating%20Folders%20and%20File%20Management%20on%20SharePoint.pdf

Once the PowerPoint is uploaded to the correct folder, group members/students can navigate there and open it up. When it is first opened, it opens in Read Only mode, so go ahead and click "Edit Presentation" at the top of the screen.

Step 5: Collaboration & SyncingThere are a few items of note when it comes to working on a collaborative PowerPoint and syncing it correctly. When there are other collaborators in the document with you, you will firstly see a pop-up window on the bottom of the screen that alerts you to who has started editing the document:

You will also see a "people" icon on the bottom of PowerPoint. Clicking it will show you who is collaborating on the document with you:

PowerPoint does NOT automatically sync. In order to sync your changes and see the changes your collaborators made, click the save icon on the top-right of the screen:

When there are changes that your collaborators have made and synced, you will see "Updates Available" show up on the bottom of your PowerPoint document. Click it to sync to see the changes.

It is recommended that each student work on their own slide, but more than


It is recommended that each student work on their own slide, but more than one student can collaborate together on a slide. If there are conflicts, PowerPoint will alert you and conflicts need to be worked through. Follow the on-screen directions to do so.

Step 6: Saving & Re-Opening

Every time you sync, the changes are saved to the document on SharePoint. When you are finished working, simply click the save/sync icon and close the document. To re-open the document to continue editing, navigate back to the folder on SharePoint and open it up as you did before in Step 4.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT File-Save As…!! This will break the collaboration and changes will not sync to the group document!


Although many emails have been sent and verbal instructions have been given to the students, there are still many students coming into the technology office with computers that have not been restarted or shut down correctly, and in some cases, they have been up and running for days/weeks without a restart or shut down.

Remember!

Students MUST come into school with their computer off. If it is not off, they must restart immediately the correct way (see below, the correct way is NEVER holding the power button down!).

Students MUST shut down completely before they leave school. See below for the correct way students should shut down. They should NEVER be holding the power button down to shut down their computers. Please allow time at the end of your last class for this to occur!!

How to Restart and/or Shut Down Correctly

When a student (and teacher) needs to restart their machine, they should be doing the following:

Click on Start, then click on either Shut Down or Restart (they have to hit the arrow next to Shut Down to see other options):

How to Check to See When Computer was Last Restarted/Shut Down Correctly

If you want to check on system uptime to see how long the student has gone without restarting, you can open Task Manager by hitting Ctrl-Shift-Esc or clicking on Start and typing “Task Manager” (no quotes). Browse to the Performance tab to see the amount of time the machine has been active since the last restart.

1.

There are two different ways to check to see how long a student has gone without restarting or shutting down their computers:

They should NOT be holding down the power button for two reasons:

Normally, they don’t hold the power button down long enough to initiate a system shutdown. Instead, they just put it to sleep.

1.

If they hold it too long (> 3 seconds), they will shut it down incorrectly and could potentially lose work or even corrupt system files.

2.

Shutting Down Correctly & Checking for Uptime


If you want to see the total uptime (i.e. the last time a system was actually restarted or shut down), you can browse to the Network and Sharing Center (right click on the network icon in the bottom right, select Open Network and Sharing Center) and view it there by clicking on the network connection.

When you have a collaborative OneNote notebook, conflicts can arise that have to be resolved. Read below to learn more about conflicts - why they happen, how to resolve them and tips to avoid them.

Why do Conflicts Happen?

Conflicts occur when two or more people are trying to type in the OneNote in the same exact spot/text box.

When a conflict occurs, you will see these icons/messages:

This icon appears next to the page name.

This message appears at the top of the conflict page:

How to Resolve Conflicts

Conflicts will remain until someone resolves them. Anyone who has access to the collaborative notebook can resolve them. To resolve, follow the steps below:

Click the message that appears at the top of your screen (above) or the icon that appears next to the page name. At the top of the page you will see the message below and on the right with your pages, you will see at least one conflict page:

1.

The conflict pages appear beneath the "real" page with dates on them.

When you go into the conflict page, any areas on the page that have the conflict will be highlighted in red. You need to look at the conflicts and if there is any content that you need on the "main" page, copy/paste from the conflict page into the main page.

2.

Once you have resolved the conflicts, delete the conflict pages. When you "click here for more options" from the message above, you see the menu below and can delete them from there, or you can delete them as normal from your list of pages.

3.

Conflicts in Collaborative OneNote


As you can see, you have other options for managing your conflict pages as well.

Tips to Avoid Conflicts

When working in collaborative notebooks with students, consider conflicts when building your pages and tabs. Create pages for each student, specific text boxes for students and/or build a table for the students to enter their information into. Specify to the students where they should go to type and enter their information. It is helpful if you give students numbers to assist in this process.

NOTE: Do not enter information in the same spot at the same exact time as someone else. If you are in a meeting with others on the same page and you might be typing in the same area, nominate someone to be the recorder for that meeting.


Although our former SharePoint server had web apps, our upgraded server did not have them until now. Read on to learn about Web Apps, how to use them, and why they are useful to our teachers and students.

What are Web Apps?

Web Apps are the online versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote and they are available through our SharePoint server or through Office Online (free account). At WSD we are using SharePoint, but anyone in the world can go to Office.com and create a free account to use all the Office Web Apps from any device, for free. By using Web Apps, either through SharePoint (Shared Documents) or Office Online, you and your students can easily share and collaborate on documents.

How do I use the Web Apps on SharePoint?

Now, when you click on the name of any document (Word, PPT, Excel, OneNote) on the Teacher & Student SharePoint server, it will open in the Web App for that file. Once it is open in the Web App, you can view the document or edit it, if you have permission. For example, in this screenshot below, the PPT is open in the Web App, but it is giving me the ability to edit the document in PowerPoint Web App or in the real PowerPoint.

As can be expected, the Web Apps are not the full-blown versions of the software, and if you want to use the "real deal" you can edit it in PowerPoint, either individually or collaboratively.

Why is this useful for me and my students?

Web Apps are available for any platform, from any device. Therefore, you and your students can work and collaborate on Word, Excel, PPT and OneNote from any device with Internet Access, not just their Wiss21 machines, and can work in these programs without having to install the full Office suite. So, students on home computers can work in OneNote, Word, PPT and Excel from our SharePoint server, even if they do not have those programs installed on their home computers!

Creating Documents on SharePoint

You now have the ability to create documents right on SharePoint, so if you know that you would like a document to be collaborative, there is no longer a need to make the document in Word, PPT, Excel and OneNote and share it to SharePoint. This is especially helpful for Read-Only and Collaborative

Office Web Apps on SharePoint


OneNote and share it to SharePoint. This is especially helpful for Read-Only and Collaborative OneNote Notebooks… no more need to SHARE it correctly with all those steps. Instead, just create it right on SharePoint!

To do this, just go to the area of SharePoint where the file needs to go (Documents or Shared Documents) and click "+ new document" and you can create it right there!

Syncing & Saving

Although with using the Web Apps, syncing may happen faster than when working in the real program, it still may be necessary to click the save icon to sync changes (except in OneNote as it syncs automatically).

More on SharePoint and Options

When you click the … next to any item on SharePoint you have the ability to edit and share right away. If you click on the … again, you are given more choices, as seen in the image below.



As users of SharePoint it is essential to be aware of the files you have out there on your SharePoint page and to keep it organized so that students (and you!) can find and use needed materials easily and efficiently. Read on to learn how to create folders to organize your files and how to move them around easily.

Creating Folders

If you don't have them already, folders are your first step to organizing and managing your files on SharePoint. To create folders…


Decide where you would like to place your folder on your SharePoint page - the Documents or Shared Documents library.

2.

Click the word “Documents” or “Shared Documents” from the left menu to get to that library. 3.

When you get on the page for that library, click "Files" from the top menu and the folder creation is in there.

4.

Click "New Folder", name it, and save.5.

Dragging and Dropping through File Management

Did you know that you can add documents by just dragging and dropping them into SharePoint via your File Manager? This is also how you will move files on SharePoint into the folders you just created.


Click into the "Documents" or "Shared Documents" library from the left menu.2.

Managing Files on SharePoint


Click "Library" from the Library Tools menu at the top.3.

Click "Open with Explorer".4.

Now, your Windows File Manager will open and you can drag and drop files into that folder to automatically be put up on SharePoint or drag and drop files between folders. How cool is that?!

5.

NOTE: If "Open with Explorer" is greyed out, it is most likely because you are not using Internet Explorer. You MUST use IE with SharePoint!

NOTE: Read-only and collaborative OneNote notebooks appear as file folders in the file manager (see "Example Read Only Notebook" above). You must move the entire folder to move the notebook but it is NOT advisable to move active notebooks this way.

You should not move or delete any active/current Read-only or Collaborative Notebooks as this will cause red Xs to appear on the students' notebooks. If you do want to move them, then everyone (teacher and students) must close the notebook from OneNote and then go back to SharePoint to get it again as it has been moved.


Bing is Microsoft's search engine and a few years ago now they released "Bing in the Classroom" which includes a variety of items that are beneficial to the teaching and learning process. Read on to learn how Bing in the Classroom can benefit you and your students!

Ad-free, private and safe search

When anyone goes to http://www.bing.com on the WSD network, they are automatically using the "Bing in the Classroom" Bing search engine. What this means for you and your students is an advertisement-free, private experience with sites that are safe for students.

Please encourage students to use Bing for their web searches, and start using it yourself if you don't already! Read down below for perks you can get for just using Bing!

(This is what you see when you go to Bing on our WSD network.

You will not see the "in the classroom" when you search from home or another network.)

Bing in the Classroom Lesson Plans

If you don't use Bing regularly, you may not know that there is a different "image of the day" each day on Bing's home page with squares you can click to learn more information about the image, which is cool enough…

Bing in the Classroom


http://www.bing.com

But, there is more! Not only can students learn from the Bing homepage, but there are also daily lesson plans to go along with each image that can be used to promote digital literacy and critical thinking in fun, short activities that align with the common core and are written by expert teachers.

The Bing in the Classroom lessons are differentiated into 3 grade-level groups: K-4, 5-8, and 9-12, with a PowerPoint presentation, complete with driving questions and guiding notes. Not only that, but starting a few weeks ago, there are now interactive OneNote activity pages built to go along with the PowerPoint lesson plans to guide the students through the activities in the lesson.

You can access each day's lesson by clicking "Info" from the bottom-right of each Bing homepage, or you can access ALL the Bing lesson plans from June 2013 to the present (and future) by visiting - http://www.educatornetwork.com/search/bing

Once there, you can search by subject, grade level, etc. and possibly find a Bing image that fits your curriculum. Otherwise, you could work these into your lessons for substitute plans or even snow day work! :)

What else?

Bing in the Classroom also offers "perks" to those outside of education or for you at home. Just by creating an account and making sure you are logged in, you can accumulate Bing Reward points by using Bing as your search engine. These points can be used towards many things, but one of them is to purchase Surfaces for a school of your choice! Could be a WSD school, sure, but could also be a school near and dear to your family. Check out more information about this aspect of Bing in the Classroom here.

Types of Notebooks

Teacher "Master Copy" Notebooks - Individual notebooks that reside on the teacher computer that have all the pages, sections, etc. for their courses and classes.

1.

Student Read-Only Notebook - A notebook that resides in the "Documents" area of SharePoint that can be used to deliver content. Students cannot edit, but can take content from this notebook to add to their own.

2.

Student Individual Notebook - A notebook that resides on the students' computers that they can add pages to, take from read-only, complete work in, etc.

3.

Collaborative Notebook - A notebook that resides in the "Shared Documents" area of SharePoint that can be used for collaboration. Teacher and students can edit.

4.

Best Practices

Only keep notebooks open that are currently in use as every single notebook you have open on your left-menu is constantly trying to sync and back-up.

•

Every notebook you have open takes up both computer memory and Internet bandwidth.•

General

You should not have just ONE teacher master copy notebook. •You should have notebooks for each unit, or each marking period, or whatever makes sense to you, but your entire years' worth of content should not be in just one notebook.

•

Teacher "Master Copy"

Student Read-Only Notebook

The read-only notebook should contain ONLY the content that you want to deliver to the students at any given time. Several teachers are calling this the "Add it" so students take from it and add to their own.

•

A good rule of thumb is to leave content in there for about a week so you know all students have it. •Remember, you have all the content in your teacher master, so you can always put it back into the read-only if needed.

•

PLEASE DO NOT HAVE YOUR ENTIRE YEAR OF CONTENT IN YOUR READ-ONLY NOTEBOOK! •

Student Individual Notebooks

Students also should NOT have ONE notebook for your class for the entire year. •You should have students close their notebooks after each unit, marking period, etc. and create a new one. •The closed notebooks are always available to the students from their O: drives.•Students should close notebooks they no longer need from OneNote. Remember, they are always trying to sync.

•

PLEASE help your students out and devote time at the start or the end of each marking period to close and re-create new notebooks.

•

Reminders from earlier Tech Tips:

Teacher OneNote Notebooks should be created on the H: Drive, NOT the "OneNote Notebooks" folder in your Documents library. Teachers who have notebooks in the Documents library have lost work due to sync conflicts. If you have this message below, your notebooks are in the wrong place. Please visit the tech office to get this resolved. (Student notebooks are created in the O: drive.)

•

OneNote Management


Teachers and students MUST report to the tech office if they have notebooks with Red Xs or Yellow triangles on them that don't go away within a day. Note: When notebooks are in the correct location (H: drive for teachers, O: drive for students), you WILL see a Red X at home, but that should go away when you connect to the school's network.

•

The Red Xs are BAD! If you have a notebook with a red X, please see a Technology Assistant and/or Dianne or Sue to get it fixed. DO NOT close the notebook out of OneNote if it has a red X as you WILL lose content!
