For this demo I am using the browser but everything I am doing here could be done on my phone.
If you are not familiar with Keep, check out this post for some background info.
My use case is helping my son with a writing assignment. I feel this will help us organize some quick ideas before we ever open Docs.
My Shared Keep Note Looks Like...
1. I added a question and a space for him to write some quick ideas.
2. I tagged it with our home address so it should pop up on his phone when he hits the front door.
3. I added him as a collaborator on the note.
How I Did It...
I added some sentences that might spark Aidan's thinking.
I then clicked the ice cream cone at the bottom.
On the dropdown, I selected Show checkboxes.
I hit enter between each sentence to create a new box.
I dragged over the new box to indent it. My intended purpose is for Aidan to add his thoughts in this new space.
I clicked the little person at the bottom to add Aidan.
By clicking the bell I added our home address so the note would immediately appear on his phone when he gets home today.
I could have added a date and time for the Keep note to pop up but I thought a location alert was best.
Once he jots notes we will then transfer it to Docs.
Click the ice cream cone at the bottom.
Choose Copy to Google Docs.
This alert will appear in the bottom left, click to open.
This is a much easier place to start versus a blank Doc.
*There is a good chance he will reject my help and do it his way. I am not sure he will use this technique.
