Keep It!

Sticky notes can be a great way to leave yourself little reminders or  to keep important 
information easily accessible. I have a ton of these little notes all over my desk. The problem is when I leave the sticky notes stay right where I put them (hence the glue on the back). 

A digital alternative to sticky notes is Google Keep. This application allows you to 
create notes and easily access them on your computer or phone. That means you have them while you are at the computer as well as on the go. 

Here are some other Google Keep features:

• Color or Label your notes to make notes easier to find. 
• Create lists. 
• Add Images to notes. 
• Add Voice Memos  (Phone only).
• Set reminders based on location (Phone only).
• Share your notes with other people. 
• Insert your notes into Google Docs

Using Google Keep for the Classroom.

• Create a list of your students. Use the list to keep track of things like who has completed a task. You can make copies of the list anytime you need it. 
• Leave yourself a voice memo and set a reminder to buy hand sanitizer and Kleenex next time you are at Walmart. 
• Take notes and insert pictures while on a field trip or for school activities. Then copy the note into Google Docs to quickly create a newsletter for parents. 

To Start Using Keep: 

• Go to https://keep.google.com/ 
• Login with your district account. 
• Type your note in the box at the top of the page that says take a note.
