From the very beginning, we all have to carry so many books here and there with us for certain purposes. As an example, we took more than 10 books with us to the school. Wasn’t is too hard to do every day. And we were not able to share one notebook with more than two people at the same time.

But Microsoft introduces a new era of notebooks. They call it “Microsoft OneNote”. It is an electronic notebook. All we need to have is an internet connection and a Microsoft account. Now we don’t need to spend money on books and carry them here and there.

What is Microsoft OneNote?

Microsoft OneNote” simply is a computer program for free-form information gathering and multi-user collaboration. OneNote has the capability to gather users’ handwritten or typed notes, drawings, screen clippings and audio commentaries. Notes can be shared with other OneNote users over the Internet or a network.
