One Note App or Desktop?
Microsoft are indeed phasing out OneNote 2016 over time. They have created an FAQ about the fate of OneNote 2016 and the importance of OneNote app here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/frequently-asked-questions-about-onenote-in-office-2019-6582c7ae-2ec6-408d-8b7a-3ed71a3c2103
Good question, John. I've also noticed quite a few nice developments there. For me it is really like two separate programs that work with the same data file. As an interactive whiteboard replacement, the OneNote App seems better featured. When doing heavy lifting, I still prefer the OneNote Desktop. I think one should try out both and see which one works the best in the context e.g. which one comes more naturally to learners.
I'm thinking that I'm going to recommend the desktop app for the teachers to build their one note notebooks and the windows 10 app for students to use. The online version just doesn't cut it for me anymore.
