Organizing & Sharing Information with OneNote Jump Start

Alright, it looks like I'm back for another Jump Start from Microsoft Virtual Academy and this blog as well. Hopefully, things should be peaceful this year like there won't be any need for emergency like blog-posting reaction from me like disastrous things that will be bound to happen in some year that I may to blog everything about the products that will be released on that year just like I did last year alot about Windows 8 and Office 15. This time, it's about OneNote and things should be that easier and especially when we're missing certain tricks needed to use for OneNote.
Before that, I had made various discoveries from that Jump Start. You can go to the Office Webinar like the next one will happen next week. Also, the Office Webinar happens like regularly except on some days like today due to the freaking Jump Start. Another thing was the Opalis Integration Server in which I have no freaking idea even if it is part of System Center family of suites from Microsoft. I don't know if that feature will be learnt in Microsoft Virtual Academy as well but we want the students to know what the hell is that as it left me kind of curious during the Jump Start.
For this Jump Start, it featured various keyboard shortcuts shown such as using Shift + Alt, followed by other key to do the tricks and especially Ctrl + . or / for bullets and numbering respectively. For Ctrl + numbers, those are for tags and you can make your own one if you want. Other features involved importing slides into OneNote, inserting embedded Excel and Visio documents, adding subpages and synchronizing OneNote documents to Skydrive, Sharepoint and Skydrive Pro. Even better is that you can use Lync with OneNote perhaps for online meeting, I guess, and you can try to edit the documents and take notes during the meeting. Lastly, you can record video and audio but is there a reason not to have the feature about inserting embedded videos? OK, I asked a question about that but I may assume that I'm not the only one who makes this kind of request. Sure, you can insert embedded videos in other document editing software but for OneNote, it's trying to be a different thing like its main purpose is about taking down notes. Other stuffs seen from the Jump Start involved the Event Template, Schedule Template, Resume Template and so on.
Unfortunately for others, there was some disgraceful technical problem that they were not able to get in the Jump Start even when it had started. It might have wasted their time but for me, the technical problems were kind of different though that I was kind of fine.
So that's it for this event and we'll be looking forward to more of these Jump Starts from MVA.
