Keep - The App for Everyone

 Google Keep - the key to everything

There is one app that everyone has access to and it is kinda life changing. In this post we are going to share two ways.

Start by going to keep.google.com
1. Click to start taking notes.
2. You can also click one of these to create a checkbox note, sketch or use an image as the starting point of a note. I do like the image idea, think of screenshots and a little text to remember something specific. 

I love a good checkbox. To create one, click on the ice cream cone, the three dots. Then select Show checkboxes. This will create a simple note that you can check the tasks off as you go.

One of the super features is how it integrates into Docs.
Open Docs.
1. Click the Keep icon on the far right.
2. Click the ice cream cone, three dots, on the note you want to add to your doc.
3. Choose Add to document.

How could you use this?
I see some kids using Keep to storm some ideas they want to write about. They could also use one Keep note per big idea which could help them focus on one idea at a time.

The second feature I love is how the note appears on my phone. 
Click on the small bell in the lower left of a note.
You have two options at the bottom.
The first is date & time. You can pick when the note appears on your phone or device.
The second is geolocation. You can set the note to appear when you hit the high school, home, the grocery, etc...
