Oh look, fall is here again! Which means that it's time to head back to school.

For Senior Microsoft Product Manager Ayça Yüksel, the words "back to school" conjure up visions of late-night exam preps, illegible handwriting on classroom blackboards, not to mention bad cafeteria food. Sound familiar?

Back when Ayça was in school, there was no OneNote. But that hasn't stopped her from compiling a list of her five favorite "Wish I'd had that back then!" features in Microsoft OneNote 2010. Read the full blog post to see how her favorite features compare to your own.

Sure, school is only just slowly getting back in session. And yet, before you know it, one of your teachers will spring that first pop quiz on you. Memorization drills aren't exactly a ton of fun right after summer, but did you know that you can create quick and easy flashcards using the built-in outlining features in OneNote?

Flashcards are a great way to test your knowledge when you're learning a foreign language, studying historical facts and dates, or when you need to learn and memorize anything else that can be tested in a question-and-answer format.

Read my full blog post to learn how you can create and keep all of your flashcards in OneNote, where you can easily use, reorganize, or modify them.

In an interview with CNN Money last week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer called out OneNote 2010 as one of the things in Microsoft Office 2010 that he's most enthusiastic about.

"I think note-taking is one of the most important things that people do," Ballmer said in the CNN Money interview.

We want to really get it out there, particularly to students, for example."
