Distribute a page to students

To distribute an assignment, homework, informational page or other resource to students, use Distribute Page.

1. Starting from the OneNote page you want to distribute, select Distribute Page. You can distribute pages from any section within the Class Notebook.

2. Choose the section to copy the page into. Each student will get a copy of that page in their own section.

3. Select Distribute.
   

Distribute a new section to students

Use Distribute New Section to create a new, empty section in each students' class notebook. For example, use it to create a new Labs section in each student notebook.

1. Select Distribute New Section.

2. Enter the name of the new section.

3. Select Distribute.

   

4. To fill the new section with content, use Distribute Page.

Review and assess student work

As students complete work in their Class Notebooks, the teacher can review and provide feedback—even when they aren't in the classroom.

1. In your Class Notebook, select Review Student Work.

2. Choose a section (for example, Homework) to see a list of all pages distributed to that section.

3. Select the page you want to review, then select from the list of students to review their work.
   Tip: Students can be sorted by First name or Last name to keep them aligned with your grade book.
