Microsoft OneNote 2010

   These days a lot of new and high tech ways to take notes are coming out. Instead of using a pen and paper people are using phones, ipads, laptops, and regular computers to take and save their notes. Most of these note taking softwares are becoming extremly popular and being used everday. But what makes these note taking softwares better then normal note taking? Everything. OneNote 2010 by Microsoft is one of these new note taking softwares that is gaining attention everyday.
   Their are tons of things you can do on OneNote 2010 that you could not do in regular notes. Personally my favorite feature is the insert photo clipping option. You can take pictures, graphs, or even words off a website and it automatically is put into your notes with the url. This can be really helpful for a research paper where you need to go back and cite your sources. I also like the icons feature on OneNote 2010 because you can use the icons they have for you like check mark boxes or important icons and if you dont like those you can make your own too! You can also change the template, this is the backround or way the page youre taking notes on is set up. If none of the OneNote templates are what you need or want you can easily create your own and save it so you can use it again and again. They also have shapes, arrows, and tables that you can quickly put into your notes or take out.
   Another nice feature it has is you can create different notebooks for diffrent classes or things in your life. They are all saved on tabs and you can change the color, name, and font of the notebooks. These notebooks are easy to share with others and also very easy to make. This keeps you very organized and on tasks. You also do not have to worry about forgetting to save because it automatically does it for you. Automatically saving is something new that I have not experienced with other microsoft programs before. If I had to reccomend a note taking software I would without a doubt choose Microsoft OneNote 2010 for anything you need to take notes on or even just something for a little reminder.
