OFFICE 365 TUTORIALS
|
Office 365 is a new tool that we will be using this year. This page has guides and video tutorials for teachers to help you use Office 365.
How To Use Office 365 In the ClassroomOffice 365 helps teachers with organization and instruction. With office 365, you can create online notebooks of your curriculum, make interactive lessons for your students, create online assessments, and share information. The Office 365 Suite has several apps. Some of these you are familiar with and others you are not. Below you will find tutorials on each application in Office 365. You will also see how to use these apps together.
To use any of the Microsoft office 365 Suite, you can install it or go online and use the internet version. If you have a PC, I recommend installing it. If you have a Mac, I recommend using the online version, as the installed version slows down your computer. One NoteWhat Is One Note?
OneNote is a digital notebook. In other words, it is an online binder. Just like a real binder, it allows you to have tabs with categories in your notebook. You can also have multiple notebooks. The notebook, sections of the notebook, and pages of the notebook can be private or shared with others.
How Can Teachers Use One Note?
Teachers can use One Note in a variety of ways. They can use it as a learning platform, a curriculum planner, and as a collaboration tool.
Learning Platform
Teachers can use One Note as a learning platform because the notebook’s sections and pages allow you to build learning modules. Images, videos, audio, presentations, and text can all be combined to create interactive experiences making a textbook obsolete.

How to Create Staff Notebooks Step By Step Tutorial
- Open Apps Launcher at the top left corner
- Click on My Apps Page Link at the bottom left corner
- Click Select Staff Notebook
- Click Create a Staff Notebook
- Name the Notebook, then click next
- There are three parts to a staff notebook: Collaborative Space, Content Library, and Private Notebooks
- Collaboration Space allows you to create notebooks, sections, and pages and allows all the teachers to edit content.
- Content Library allows you to create notebooks, sections, and pages but the teachers can only view the content.
- Private Notebooks allow you to create notebooks, sections, and pages and allows one teacher to edit the content.
- Next, it will prompt you to invite others to share any type of notebook. So if you wanted the Assistant Principal, Counselor, or Book Keeper to be able to edit any content, you could add them at this point.
- You will then be prompted to put in all the names of the staff you want to share the notebook with. Because we have an active directory, accounts will be brought up automatically when you type in the teachers name.
- Each teachers name you type in will get a private notebook.
- Each price notebook will have the following sections or tabs: Professional development, Classroom Observations, Lesson Plan Feedback, Evaluation, Parent Communication. (It also allows you to remove these or add more.)
- You will see at the top right, Staff Leader’s Notebook is highlighted.
- On the left side panel, you will see your links to Collaboration Space, Content Library, and a link to each staff member’s private notebook.
- To see a staff member’s private notebook, click on their name. If you want to see how a staff member sees their notebook, click on Staff Member’s Notebook in the upper right corner next to Staff Leader’s Notebook.
- Once you create the notebook, you will get a link. You do not need to send the link to the staff members because our school account notifies anyone in the network when you share something with them.
- You can now create whatever you like.
