Google Keep by Nick Fabrizio
Google Keep:
Google Keep is an app that has various useful features for classes or at home. The main uses for this app is a note taker, checklist maker, and reminder tool all in one. Google Keep allows you to use text, photo, sound, and video in order to make notes, checklists or reminders, etc.
How can this help you?
Well, imagine that you are in class and the homework is book work tonight. Why take home that heavy book when you can just make a note. For example, you could note “Section 1, 10-15” in text then take a picture of the page of the book that the questions are on and add that picture to the note. There you have your homework for the night all on your mobile devices organized. But you can do more than just that. If you need a checklist to check off what homework you have done, google keep has that. Additionally, if you need a quick reminder for later, Google Keep can do that too.

My Examples:
hi Nick — thanks for the info re this App. i love the idea, so i’m setting it up but have a couple of questions. i googled Google Keep to find the app. U added a quick note. but now i am not sure where/how to find the app without “googling” it each time. i dont see it in the App group where i access Google Drive.
also i downloaded it on my iphone; the setup required my gmail name, and asks for a password. i used my gmail pw, but the app did not seem to set up for me.
i’ll play around with it tonight, but wanted to get your expertise.
thanks, Nick,
