English Language teacher Suhaylah uses OneNote and digital ink with her class who are learning about measurement in Maths. Using her touchscreen laptop and stylus, Suhaylah can draw, highlight and colour to create much richer learning opportunities.

"I really like the ability to use different colours and thicknesses of the pen so I can clearly show concepts which we are learning. The Ink to Shape tool is great as it enables me to draw a rough outline of a shape and OneNote will automatically alter my drawing to be a perfect shape". 

Using the open canvas of OneNote means Suhaylah can zoom in and out of images and text easily. Another advantage of using OneNote over writing on the board is that students can access everything that is completed rather than for it to be erased from the traditional whiteboard and never to be seen again.
