Notebook

Microsoft Word: Did you know that you can record your voice directly in Microsoft Word and that students can easily organize their materials using notebook layout?

Under View, choose notebook layout. Have your students rename the section tabs. This will create a notebook. Each tab creates a seperate page that is meant to be organized in the same way as a binder. Students can print the entire notebook. This is a great way to help students stay organized and current with their notes. Simply click on the + sign if you would like to create more tabs.

What if you could have your students email you a copy of their notes and questions using thier voice as well? How about leaving a copy of your LP for your sub and verbally articulating what the students need to do in class? It's easy! Make sure that you are still in Notebook view. Next, press the audio notes toolbar. A separate toolbar will appear. Press the red button to record. Press the stop button. A small microphone will now appear on your page. In order to create multiple audio files you will need to select multiple text.
