Student / OneNote Avenger Of The Day




 Build community and celebrate the "Student / OneNote Avenger of the Day" by creating a special page in OneNote! 


In this example I've used frames from the OneNote sticker collection, added a photo of the student, and a photo of the student with her family.

The primary handwriting lines and dotted letters are a font that I purchased (there are free and for purchase fonts available). The student of the day can trace his/her name using one of the fun pens in OneNote.

Simple, but personal questions have been included on this page.  You can adjust the questions to meet the needs of your class. Responses can be typed or inked. I created a box around the different sections (i.e. favorites, birthday etc.) by highlighting the text, and selecting a single box in insert table. The box can be enlarged by grabbing the corner and dragging to the desired size. (Learn more about Tables in OneNote Win10


If you would like to create a static page/template that can not be altered create the page as desired, open in full screen mode, and click the "print screen key" (PrtScr).  Open Paint and select copy, save the image. (Learn more about Print Screen options) Go back into OneNote, choose insert and add the desired image, adjust to the desired size, right click on the image, select "picture", "set picture as background". You now have a static page to add student photos and information to. (Keep in mind that you would need to add the student's name after the template was created, or you could include blank handwriting lines in the template and the student could add his/her name).

The "Student/ OneNote Avenger of the Day Page" could be distributed to students in Class Notebook for completion at home or in class.  If technology is limited another option would be for the teacher to keep a special OneNote or OneNote section for the "Student/ OneNote Avenger of the Day" pages. Families could email photos, or teacher/students could take photos to be added to the page. The written portion of the page could be completed at morning meeting or during an individual meeting time with student and teacher.

(This page was designed to use in a kindergarten class, but the page could be adjusted for upper grades as well. There are many fun stickers in the OneNote sticker collection that older kids would enjoy!)
