Microsoft OneNote Education team to host monthly #OneNoteQ TweetMeets help educators keep up with OneNote

Mark Coppock

Microsoft is determined to make an impact in education, and to that end has put together a slew of tools and programs to help make its various solutions popular among educators. No Microsoft product has received more attention than OneNote, which has a number of add-ons and Learning Tools available to help both teachers and students stay organized and engaged.

Today, the OneNote Education team has announced that they’re hosting monthly “#OneNoteQ TweetMeets” that will focus on providing information, input, and interaction with educators on using OneNote in teaching environments. As Microsoft details:

#OneNoteQ TweetMeets will be hosted on the first Tuesday of every month beginning August 2. TweetMeets will be held live on Twitter in close partnership with OneNote Central (@OneNoteC) at 10 a.m. PDT and again at 4 p.m. PDT.

Marjolein Hoekstra, OneNote expert behind the independent OneNote Central channel on Twitter (@OneNoteC) and initiator of the OneNote Community Notebook, will collaborate with our OneNoteEDU social team to capture educator questions, provide input for TweetMeet agendas and help guide the conversation. Marjolein will also help to recap the #OneNoteQ TweetMeets in a Docs.com Collection after each monthly event.

The events will allow educators to engage with the OneNote Education team, asking questions and submitting ideas on how OneNote can be more effective for teachers and students. You will be able to submit your questions a week prior to each event, and twelve will be selected for discussion. Each session will also provide an opportunity for submit questions and receive answers in an open format.
