This document discusses using OneNote for professional development and continuing education. It provides examples of how OneNote can be used to save documents, web pages, emails, notes from learners and lessons, and reflective journals in one centralized place. Information stored in OneNote is automatically synced across all devices, is safely accessible without an internet connection, and can be easily organized, shared, and searched. This makes professional development materials more useful over the long term compared to just collecting physical papers and documents.
