Google Keep - An Idea


We have posted a few ways to use Google Keep. This post is how one 3rd grade class uses Keep during the writing process.


     One feature of Keep is your ability to change the color of each note. This is a very simple way for your writers to keep common ideas organized. While you can move your notes around on the screen the color coding helps the students key into what ideas and themes are related.
     Another organizational tip is to tag each note. You can click the hamburger icon in the upper left corner and select the tags you want to show. That way only those notes show. This makes the page very clean and easy to read.



What about those who create a ton of notes? At the very top of your screen there is a simple search bar. Using this will search through all of your notes and display any that contain the word(s) you are searching for.
