Look who's heading back to college? With some nifty computer tools for students and teachers, I reenter the college scene to demonstrate some of the magical things OneNote can do, showoff a free graphing calculator called Microsoft Mathematics 4.0, and a nifty PowerPoint tool found in Office for Mac 2011. Watch (and read below for links to learn more).
Notes and links:
Scene 1: OneNote. You might already have OneNote. It’s been included in several Office suites since Office 2003 and is included in all Office 2010 suites. Want to try it for free? Here’s a free trial at Office.com, or use the free Office Web App. Want to learn more: go to the OneNote page at Office.com (probably the coolest home page we have), or try our OneNote blog. I like OneNote so much, I’ve made a few Office Casual videos about OneNote. And yes, those are real students at Shoreline Community College. Scene 2: Mathematics 4.0 Calculator. You can download the calculator at the Microsoft Download Center. See a teacher’s guide and instructions for the calculator and more free teacher tools at our education site. To keep up-to-date with education tools and uses for Office, read the Office in Education blog. And yes, that’s my real daughter, and not her first time tagging along in my videos. Scene 3: Office for Mac 2011. Find out more about Office for Mac and read the Office for Mac blog. Learn what else is new for Office for Mac 2011 or dive deeper in the Arrange tab in PowerPoint. Watch this episode of The Office Show to see how much better PC and Macs work together. And yes, that’s a real Mac.*

Holy <censored>! (<- self moderation at work here ;-)).
I knew OneNote was an extremely handy tool, I use it on an almost daily basis. But /optical character recognition/ (OCR) "simply" out of the box? You have got to be kidding me! (and I already confirmed that you are not).
So... In the past 7 - 8 years in which I've been using OpenOffice I got regular (bugfix) updates, small enhancements but nothing really breathtaking. Impressive stuff, sure, but... Its also when I came to learn OneNote 2003 (came with my laptop and can't do this stuff (I just checked).
And while I've been enjoying 'regular' updates (not meant sarcastically) you guys "just" added OCR support to OneNote?!
Ok, so far for my rant (sorry, couldn't help it; first thing which popped into my mind).
I loved the video! Very well done, maybe the humor part was a bit too cheesy but what I could /really/ appreciate was that you guys aren't only showing your own stuff (Windows 7 / MSIE) but -also- pay attention to what other people might be using (Apple notebook, FireFox webbrowser (then again; support for this critter is dropping pretty hard right now)) and /without/ ridiculing any of it (very important detail!).
Didn't know this was a "2 part" thingie so just like I mentioned on YouTube: I sorta missed a reference to the Mathemetics Office plugin which adds native support to Word and OneNote. If allowed:
www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx
....then this is what I'm referring too. If you like Mathemetics then I think you'll appreciate that one too.
Awesome stuff Mr. Thomas, please keep it up!

Thanks for the voluminous comments this week. When we make these longer Office Casual videos, we also make shorter cuts of each segment, so different audiences can find them. As for tools that work over many different devices, also try the Windows Live Tools: explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials.
