Your Class Notebook is a digital notebook for the whole class to store text,
images, handwritten notes, attachments, links, voice, video, and more.
Essential components of the OneNote Class Notebook experience:
 Student Notebooks -- a private space shared between the teacher and
each individual student. Teachers can access every student notebook,
while students can only see their own.
 Content Library -- a read-only space where teachers can share
handouts with students.
 Collaboration Space -- a space where everyone in your class can share,
organize, and collaborate.
3.4 Assignments

This is where homework is set, graded and then posted back to the pupil
Homework has many benefits for students including learning how to work
independently, staying organised and taking responsibility for their part in
the educational process.
It also gives pupils a chance to review the lesson and go over the material
again.

Assignments give teachers the ability to track student progress and to see if
the student understands the lesson content.

3.5 Grades

Each of your class teams has a Grades tab where you can view assignments at a glance. Use the
Grades tab to get an overview of your work and read feedback from your teacher.
