I recently asked my two resident junior technologists - Amy and Wendy Mack- to explore the shared session capability of Microsoft OneNote so that they might show their robotics team how to use OneNote to work together, apart. Amy and Wendy did this - they used OneNote and Skype to collaborate on a document from different rooms of the house,
I have invited Michael Sampson, of Shared Spaces Research and Consulting, to join me as Amy and Wendy teach us about how they use OneNoteShared Sessions. During this unedited podcast, Amy and Wendy even walk us through a live 4-way shared session. (It works!)

Update: Amy & Wendy asked me to clarify that they did not actually get in trouble for using OneNote shared sessions during school. I promised them I would.

This is amazing. My highest praise to your daughters (and you of course) for their excellence in doing this. Pure gold.

Hi Amy and Wendy. I listened to your podcast and am astounded. You really examined OneNote thoroughly and I agree with your conclusions. I sent your comments on to our team here so they could hear you too.
Would you like to come and intern at Microsoft some day? You two sound like you're very interested in technology and how to use it to make people more effective. I'd love to see your presentation someday (maybe you could email it to me - take out the "online" in my email address). Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see what you think of our next release!

Great article!
Just wanted to share a new OneNote tool that allows Skype conference calls to be recorded directly to OneNote.
I find it great that I can talk to my family and save the conversations as I would a picture and all within OneNote.
Here's the link:

Thanks Paul
