Pages are, well, pages…
You and the students will be able add in materials you

4. Setting Up A Class Notebook

5. Designing Your Class
Before creating (or attempting to create), you have a To-Do list
What sections do you want the students to have in their notebooks?
Example: Cornell Notes, Handouts, TRF’s, Homework, Tests/Quizzes
Generate a list of student ID numbers
This will make the creating process easier and quicker
What content to you want to share with the students?
Where is it all located?
Do you need to digitalize any handouts?

6. Creating the Class Notebook
Using Office 365, you need to access the Class Notebook option (Purple tile)

Going this route is temporary (We will be able to manage it within OneNote)

10. Adding Another Teacher
The Class Notebook can have multiple teachers assigned to it
Completely optional
Paraprofessionals may be a teacher you add as they could then view their student’s or students' work within the notebook
Weigh the benefits because you would be giving them the same permissions as you

Students can be added after you have created the Class Notebook
Enter in the student ID numbers, wait a second, select the student
Separate students with a semicolon
