  GOOGLE KEEP Google Keep is a life-saver for a busy teacher. It is one of the G Suite apps I use ALL the time. What is it? It is a simple note-taking service that is available as a Chrome extension, website, and app on a phone that works seamlessly with other G Suite tools. How do I use it? For a nice overview of how you can use Google Keep in your classroom, take a look at this post by Tessa Maguire . She is an elementary teacher and explains how she uses Google Keep every day.  How do I start using it? I created a short video over Google Keep and how I use it. You can access it here.   In addition, I have created a site that lists everything you need to know about Google Keep. It includes a link to a step-by-step tutorial from Google Learning Center, 7 Ninja Tricks from Matt Miller, Tips and tricks from Hello Teacher, and even a way to have students use Google Keep for research. You can access all of it here.   Want even more ideas? Alice Keeler shares ...

If you have been around me long enough, you will know of my love for Google Keep. I have the app on my phone and the extension in my Chrome browser. I use it at least a dozen times a day to not only store notes but to help with organization in both my personal and professional life. A few days ago, there was a Facebook post with a link to a blog titled hello, teacher lady about Google Keep. The author, Shana, is a middle school teacher who loves using G Suite tools. On her blog, she talks about how she uses the Pin tab to make sure notes are kept at the top. For her, the use of Tasks with a nice graphic at the top makes things easier to see and keep organized. So, she created custom image headers and shares them with everyone who would like to do the same. To read her entire post to learn how she uses Google Keep, click here: http://bit.ly/2TQsHzf
