Google Keep

Tutorial https://youtu.be/TLvU2SWFZZA

What is Keep? Similar to a digital sticky note but with many more attributes.

• Create notes in your Google Keep with a headline and body text.
• Add check boxes to make an instant checklist — great for a "to do” list.
• Snap a picture to attach to a note.
  • Extra special trick: If it’s linear typed text (like from a printed document), try the “Grab image text” tool. It will read your text and change it into typed words. Magic!
• For ideas in your brain where text and photos won’t do them justice, draw a picture freehand using the drawing tool.
• Color code your notes to organize them.
• Attach a label to notes, keeping ideas for projects and classes all together.
• Set reminders — based on time or your location via GPS — that will draw your attention back to that note when you need it.
• Share notes with collaborators so all of you can view and edit them.
• Use the "Keep" extension so it automatically grabs the URL of the website you are on. This is great for students so that when they are researching, they can click the Keep extension which takes the URL address and the student can then take notes about the website on that Keep note that already has the copied URL. Then, all the websites used in research will be saved automatically to Keep making "paper" note cards a thing of the past.

Add Fonts to your Google Applications (Docs, Slides, etc.)

• Go to https://fonts.google.com
  • And click the red plus sign on the fonts you want to add
  • They will be ready the next time you compose a Google Doc, Slide, etc.
