So yesterday I mentioned that from one Microsoft Form that our Peer Tutors fill out, I do a lot with the information posted (link). While the email that automatically gets sent about the peer tutoring session is useful to the Teacher and the student’s Advisor, as the co-administrator of the program, it’s the OneNote Page […]

Why not do everything?
So I was assigned the co-Leader of our Peer Tutoring Program at my school and, since I had nothing better to do, I set up a Flow to help collect, collate, distribute and store the information from the Program. After each session, the Tutor writes a short comment on the session and indicates the time/date […]
Accessibility gets easier
So November is NaNoWriMo – the month to write your novel. Well, I’m not doing that, but I’m endeavouring to write a blog post a (week)day this month just to get back in the habit. One of the biggest pushes from Microsoft since has been Accessibility – making certain that Microsoft products don’t get in […]
I shall find a way…
We are now forced to use Canvas (a web based LMS) for our courses. I won’t list the reasons why I dislike Canvas and think it’s a terrible thing for education generally but suffice it to say, it’s better for both me and my students to do our work in OneNote. So… how do I […]
Card Sorts in Microsoft Whiteboard
So in this time of remote learning, I like to do activities in small groups that are self-checking so that I don’t have to rely on automation. We did a Clue (or Cluedo if you’re British) for our last unit review and this time for our Quadratic Formula mini-unit I thought I’d do a card […]
Email to OneNote
This is one of those things that I always assume people know… but then they don’t! You can send (almost) anything to the email address me@onenote.com and it will create a new page with whatever was in the email, along with any attachments. This makes it easy to have meeting notes, travel plans, orders, receipts, […]
Equation Editor comes to OneNote (Win10)
Folks have been waiting a while to get Equation Editor into OneNote (Win10 version… it’s been in 2016/Desktop for forever). Now, the funny thing is this won’t make a huge deal for me. I tend to just write my equations out, and if it’s for more serious distribution I tend to write it in Word. […]
Choose your own… PD.
When we return from March Break, we tend to have a teacher-only day of PD and meetings. The admin had broken the faculty into 3 groups for two sessions and hadn’t planned anything for the third so I suggested I run a tech PD.Since this would be my swan song as the tech guy I […]
This is a Test… this is only a test…
This post wouldn’t have been possible without Eric in our IT Dept — he fixed a network setting that prevented us from using TakeATest last year… so a huge shout-out to him (he’s likely relieved because I’ve been pestering him for the past couple of years!)Built into Windows10 (right from its initial release!) is the […]
Post It Notes go universal
Microsoft recently began rolling out an update to their Post-It Note software, which they call StickyNotes – now at version 3. You can get it in the Microsoft Store here. For the sake of clarity, I’ll continue to refer to them as Post-It Notes — they’re like Kleenex.What’s nice now is that the Notes now […]
