   Great! learned new skills again\n\nI always wondered how to use OneDrive on my desktop. Tessa is a good teacher!\n\nI didn't realize that there were 2 versions of OneNote, what I had OneNote 2013, and now the OneNote app, and they seem to be able to sync together.\nI have had One Note forever, but not actually used it. After today's webinar I will definitely learn it and use it. It seems to be exactly the kind of thing I have been wishing for. Thank you very much for ALL of these webinars.\n\nI have OneNote but had no idea what it was. Great overview of what it can do, love syllabus, should be very helpful. Was hoping it was similar to Evernote which I recently heard about. Looking forward to using it with my newspaper clippings. Thanks!\n\nI have OneNote. I've been using it, however, it's been underutilized. I truly appreciated her suggestions.\n\nI have the perfect project to use OneNote for.....now I have no reason not to try!\n\nI learned so much. Guess I need to start using One Note.\n\nI like the idea of doing a series , with basic and on up\n\nI liked the end where you were experimenting - that is where I'm at too.\n\nI thought it was very good. Thanks.\n\nI was already familiar with OneNote, both the app and the Office 2016 version, but I did pick up some good information, especially about add-in's. I was hoping to get some more ideas about how to use it specifically for genealogy (i.e. making family group charts, research logs, timelines, etc.).\n\nI will review this again to help improve the use of OneNote. I last used my version in 2017.\n\nI’ve wanted to try OneNote for so long. Now I must!!! Thanks for a great webinar - Tessa was excellent!!\n\nI'll be using OneNote! Thanks so much for this webinar!\n\nI'm a paper and pencil person too and really appreciate the webinars that help me to see how I might incorporate more technology into my research. Tessa's presentation was terrific! Thank you.\n\nInteresting and a very helpful syllabus.\n\nIt was a very good seminar. Just a lot for me to try to understand at once. Thank you for the seminars.\n\nI've been using OneNote but now I will be more productive\n\nI've known about OneNote for years and have a MS Office suite, but never used this tool. I suspect that will change very soon. Thank you!\n\nI've used OneNote for years but still learned a lot from the Webinar. \n\nJust what I needed!\n\nKnowledgable\n\nKudos to Tessa. She brought me thru a subject I had no knowledge smoothly, and I didn't loose track. Her speaking voice is very easy to follow. AND there were no uuhhh's in the talk. Brava, Tessa.\n\nlearned a lot. Excellent speaker,teaches well!\n\nLooking forward to using One Note for the first time and more confident in getting started after this excellent webinar. A few more webinars for specific lessons on using the features would be a good idea as was suggested!\n\nLots of info!\n\nLots of new information\n\nLots of super good information, and a crystal clear reception\n\nLoved Tessa's style of presentation; liked she gave page # references to her syllabus and she really knew her subject.\n\nMore more more!\n\nMust watch again. \n\nMy head hurts. Will have to watch a couple of times to let it all soak in. Glad I'm a subscriber now! \n\nONe of the best on the subject. Great job.\n\nOne of the best webinars I've listened to (though of course I love the Watch Geoff Live series!). Very dense with good info. Now I need to play with it. I'm an Evernote user, so I need to make the mental shift (just as Tessa did going the other direction). We'll see which I stick with. It might be handy to have a webinar on migrating from Evernote to OneNote since there have been some rumors about Evernote's future; now that they have a new CEO, who knows what will happen...\n\nOutstanding lecture made me a convert!!\n\nOutstanding summary of OneNote\n\nOutstanding!!!\n\nOutstanding.\n\nReally helpful. Would like a more indepth class. Will now look into OneNote.\n\nReally like the subject, looking forward to multiple webinars on OneNote. Very complex for me, so I will be viewing this again. Thank you, well done.\n\nShe had a lot of great tips that I am going to start using right away. Can't wait to rewatch this one!\n\nShe was easly to listen to. Well spoken and well organised in the way the material was presented. Great hand out.\n\nSO MUCH wonderful information about OneNote! I'm excited to make it a part of my digital organization! \n\nSuch great info. Very practical. Thank you!\n\nTessa gave a great overview of OneNote. I've used Evernote mostly but I'm going to give OneNote a try.\n\nTessa gave a great presentation of OneNote.\n\nTessa gave me a lot to think about concerning OneNote and OneDrive. I've had both for years and never used them. Examples of how other use and organize their genealogical or other research would be really helpful. I find that while I'm somewhat dogged in researching, I occasionally lack creativity in using programs, and I tend to learn better by example.

   Tessa is an excellent presenter: knowledgeable about her topics, very focused and easy to follow. Thanks.\n\nTessa is well versed in using One Note. Thank you.\n\nTessa was excellent with her explanations but as one who has never used OneNote it was difficult to comprehend and follow. Right at the end of question time when Geoff started a OneNote page it made sense and was good to follow. A webinar giving 'instructions' and someone doing them would be good!\n\nThank you for an excellent presentation. You answered quiet a few questions I have had on OneNote and I'm an old OneNote user. I appreciate that you explained both versions, as well as all the cool tools I've not used yet. Thank you.\n\nThank you. I enjoyed the presentation!\n\nthanks for all the info\n\nThanks so much! I had used OneNote a little, so now I hope to use it a lot more!\n\nThanks! Good introduction to OneNote. A live presentation would be really great too. (Although I have not looked on the internet to see what videos may already be available.)\n\nThat was fantastic!!!!! Tessa's handout is so clear and complete. I can't wait to try OneNote. Thanks so much.\n\nThink I might give this a try. Great seminar. I appreciated the real time demo at the end. This helped me to “see” it in action.\n\nthis seminar was well put together and well presented. I will be trying OneNote out thank you\n\nThis was a really great and well-done program. I am considering watching future programs.\n\nThis was outstanding! I'd give it higher than 5 if I could. THANK YOU, Tessa!\n\nThis webinar could easily bee two. It was a lot of great info but more then I could keep up with. \n\nThis would be ideal for a "Watch Geoff Live"\n\nThoroughly enjoyed it. Tessa was an excellent presenter and easy to follow.\n\nVery beautiful in structure, clean and logically organized presentation - one of the best. The retail narrative encouraged me to become more familiar with this tool, which I had never known and appreciated - and I have had it in a laptop for a long time. Such an extensive program - very useful, of course, is impossible to master during one webinar. I will definitely want to listen to this lecture again and again - up to now it seemed to me that I know ms.office and that it is enough. Bravo and thanks.\n\nVery clear and informative. Thank you.\n\nVery clear, very straightforward, full of good information. \n\nVery good overview! I will need to watch again for the details and setup a sandbox to practice.\n\nVery good. Plan to work with it.\n\nVery helpful. I look forward to giving OneNote a try.\n\nVery helpful...………….never considered using One Note until this webinar. THANKS\n\nVery informative\n\nvery informative and helpful\n\nVery informative. I would like to see more on this subject.\n\nVery informative. Some more "hands on" demonstrations would be helpful, for example at the end Geoff showed us how he open onenote and started a file.\n\nVery interesting, I use OneNote on my work but came never to the idea to use it for Genealogy too :-) Thank you very much Tessa :-)\n\nVery interesting, thank you for this 'new to me' information\n\nvery interesting. Thank you.\n\nVery useful; good pace and depth conveyed a lot in an hour\n\nVery well organized! Very clear and pleasant voice. Good info.\n\nWell done! Explained well, and Tessa kept it moving at a nice pace. I will have to watch it again to feel a bit more comfortable with it. Who knew I had it on my computer? A forgotten source!\n\nWell done! Will review the webinar in areas that I need to be sure I caught everything she did!\n\nWell prepared, informed\n\nWent by too fast!\n\nWill certainly need to rewatch!\n\nWould be interested in more specifics about she uses it, but will check out the blog she suggested.\n\nWOW! potentially the most useful tool outside of the Legacy software.\n\nWow! OneNote is so much more than I expected! Tessa provided great information about this lesser-known tool for genealogy!\n\nWOW!!\n\nwow. motivating and helpful. thanks a lot

   Even as an experienced One Note user, I learned new ways to integrate it with my genealogical research.\n\nTessa is a great speaker! I was able to follow her very easily.

I think the suggestion that Tessa should lead a pre-recorded start up webinar to follow along and set up notebooks and learn the best tips is a great idea -- learning by doing and following along is how people will adopt this tool. Thanks!\n\nAwesome\n\nAwesome webinar! First use, for me, will be using OneNote to organize my huge Ancestry Shoebox. Great idea! Next will be the calendar function.
