How Students Can Increase Productivity


hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today Jason Brahma of
Microsoft will be showing students how
to do their homework more quickly and
efficiently so I’m going to go through
today a little bit of the traditional PC
form factor and traditional applications
that we’re all used to but then how that
has now spread and so what I’ve got open
here is microsoft office onenote
traditionally and certainly when I was
back in school everything was
paper-based and so office one that
really takes that form factor extends it
into the digital age so you can see here
through the left-hand navigation is a
number of notebooks that are created
across the top is sections here I
created a scenario this is my school
work I know that I’ve got a project that
I need to do on Shakespeare and so it
created a subpage for online research
what that does is it both captures that
screen image but also gives you the tag
and the URL that that came from so that
when it’s time to go back and publish an
off of that report you no longer need to
try to remember that taking it one step
further and harnessing the introduction
of some of the new technologies today is
moving from the pc form factors of the
windows mobile platform i can capture my
notes directly on my mobile device and
then sync it directly with my OneNote
extending the office experience now from
the pc to the mobile device and now to
the web is something called office live
workspace this is a free service that
allows students or parents and certainly
small businesses as well to be able to
share and collaborate online in this
scenario I have to create a presentation
on Shakespeare I’ve gone into office
online and located a template for
PowerPoint you can see the very
traditional PowerPoint structure of
slides but without having to open office
and so anyone who doesn’t have office on
their PC it’s still able to go in and
view this directly within their web
browser where it really becomes powerful
is the integration directly with
microsoft office it’s going to now open
Microsoft Office PowerPoint as the
traditional application on my computer
it’s going to open that file from the
workspace that I’ve uploaded and now I’m
going to be able to create edit and
author any of the content directly
within this PowerPoint presentation once
I’ve gone through and done all my work
I’ve got classmates that I need to show
this with in order to get the report
finished and what you see here is what
we refer to as the office live at in and
so this is a free download available
that allows you to both open and save
files directly to your office live
workspace one of the interesting
features within office live workspace is
the Activity module today a lot of
people are familiar with Facebook and
the ability to go online understand
who’s logging and logging out the
activity panel actually allows you to
keep track of that and then also the
ability to set up email notifications
for today very much the same way
Facebook does so again is harnessing the
power of the mobile devices those emails
may come through my mobile phone and so
again harnessing the power of the pc
traditional applications the web as well
as the mobile device to have an
absolutely integrated and seamless
experience
