Microsoft has made it super-easy for teachers to distribute a page to all their students with a few clicks, as well as reviewing work submitted by students, and view their Class Notebooks. More improvements will be planned for future updates, but it's great to see Microsoft really working on implementing educational features into OneNote and Office as a whole.
