#taking digital notes

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share with u guys my most recently discovered tool for studying: OneNote. 

I watched a lot of videos on YT of students who use this app for taking notes or even like a notebook, saving lots of paper, time and ink, and I got interested. I had never made digital notes before, so I didn’t know if it would work for me. Always used binders, always took notes on paper, and I was actually focusing on that because of the aesthetics and the lettering but since I tried One Note I completely fell in love. It’s not like I abandoned paper once for all, mostly because I don’t have a tablet and I really hate taking my laptop to uni, so I still take class notes on my binder and I normally make my summaries (?) by hand before my exams so it’s easier to assimilate the subjects, but all of my detailed class notes are on OneNote and it made my life a lot easier. I also like using OneNote along with Adobe Reader when I have to make reviews or summaries of academic articles.

For those who don’t know how OneNote works I’m going to post, probably tomorrow, about it, I’ll show you all the tools I know and everything I use.

Hope u guys like it.

If you are looking for a cross between taking notes by hand and having the digital power of search, sharing, and audio tied to notes, then I can’t recommend anything better than Livescribe.
