Google Keep and Drawing

Google Keep can be used in so many different ways! Below is a list of ways that Google Keep can be used.

• Essay/Lesson Plan Outlines - Create an outline filled with ideas, links, or photos to save for later. Google Keep partners with Google Docs so you can convert your Google Keep outline into a Google Doc document with one click or simply drag and drop a Google Keep note into an existing Google Doc.

• To Do Lists - Do you ever think of something in the moment that needs to be done, but know you will forget within a few hours? It's a pain to keep track of little scraps of paper with random notes written on them. It can also get old writing notes on you hand that get washed off and lost. Google Keep can solve your problem. Google Keep is the perfect place to keep a To-Do list that you will always have with you on your smart phone.

• Reminders - set I reminder notification on any of your notes. For example, if you always forget to water your plants. Set a reminder in Google Keep to notify you everyday at a certain time.

• Project Management - Google Keep is a great way for teams to generate ideas and collaborate on school or work projects.

• Transcribe Text - Click on the Camera icon in Google Keep. Take a photo or import an image of a page of text. You can crop the part you want to grab the text from in your camera app or the photo gallery. In the new note, click on the overflow menu (three vertical dots) and choose Transcribe Text. Google’s Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software goes to work and the text from the image appears in the note. This could be used for pages of a book or to remember contact information on a business card without having to manually type it up.

• Annotate Images within Google Keep - draw, write on, or highlight important parts of an image
