Once you've created notes, you can view them by going to drive.google.com/keep to create additional notes via the web version or work on existing notes. 

So when you open the app and connect it to your Google account, you see your blank canvas. Over in the top-right corner of the screen you see your options as to the kind of notes you can create (from left to right):

Creating a new note

Tap the new note button and you will be given a workspace to create a new note. Type in a title for you note and then your note's content and you're off and going. You can click the paint pallette in the top-right corner (while working on a new note) to change the note's color. This is a handy feature for teachers and students wanting to organize their notes in Google Keep by color. There's also a camera button if they'd like to snap a picture from their tablet to add directly into the note. 

Creating a Todo List

The next option you have (by pressing the checkmark), is to create a quick todo list. Again, works simply and easily. Make a todo list that automatically has checkboxes next to each item on your list. 

Voice Notes

Needing to create a quick voice note on the go? Press the microphone button and use the speech to text feature in Google Keep to record a new note. Your spoken words will automatically be placed into the body of your note. You'll need to later go in the note to add a title and/or change the note's color. 

Adding a Photo to Google Keep

Pressing the camera button will take you straight into the native Camera app to take a picture with your tablet. This picture becomes part of a new note that you can title and color code accordingly as well as add any other text you need to that goes with it. 

Other Tips for Working in Google Keep

To edit an exisitng note press on the note one time to open it. Once the note is opened it can of course be edited accordingly. With a note open, press the options button in the top-right corner of the app if you need to delete the note or add checkboxes to the note. You will also find the share button in the top-right corner, which allows you to easily email a the note or share it to a variety of other apps such as Twitter, Google+, or Facebook. 

Google Keep is a simple, yet effective app for students and teachers to easily take notes and share them. I look forward to watching it get better!
