In this Webinar, Chris showed us the ins and outs of Google Keep - an app that can be used on a desktop, iPad, or phone, making it very versatile (there is also an Android option - meaning all students would likely be able to use it somehow). We learned how to annotate notes using the drawing feature, draw diagrams or pictures using different tools, add photos to notes, organize notes by labeling them, change the colors of notes and pin them to the top, and share notes. This is an appealing way of organizing notes, though my one complaint is - when comparing this app to Notability - I don't like that you are unable to easily see the date each note was created. However, it allows you to organize your notes almost as if they were sticky notes on a bulletin board, which is ideal for some.
I could use Google Keep in my future classroom for group projects, instructions for word problems or step-by-step help, and assigning projects and homework by pinning important notes to the top. I describe in more detail how I would use this in the reflection.
