Google Keep
Google Keep gives Google users an online space for note keeping, image saving, and more. You can make lists (complete with checkboxes), save images or even draw. The interface is intuitive and looks like a bulletin board with color-coded notes that you can move around with your mouse. Google Keep also gives users the ability to:
- add collaborators
- set a timer to receive reminders about a note
- send notes to Google Docs
- read a photo of a printed document and extract the text
If you have a Google account, you have access to Google Keep.
In Your Classroom
- Google Keep is a great way to organize research. It’s highly visual, and it makes it simple to arrange and rearrange text.
- Want to transfer your Google Keep notes into a Google document? Just go to Tools > Keep to access your notepad and drag applicable items to the Google document..
- Collaborating on a big project? Use Google Keep to make lists, assign tasks and set reminders.
- Since Google Keep is on the web, it’s synced across devices, and is accessible at school and at home.
- Like using Google Keep? Consider installing the Chrome extension. It will making it easier to save web content such as images or text within Google Keep.
