Keep Integration with Google Docs

Google Keep is probably one of the most underrated apps in the Google Suite.  Basically, it is a digital post-it note.  Which sounds simple, but Keep is so much more robust and has so many more possible applications than most realize.

Here are some basic functions of Keep:
-color code your notes
-pin important notes to the top
-create labels for certain topics to organize your notes

Now for some more Keep features:
-voice notes (only on mobile version)
-annotations
-add collaborators
-add the Keep Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web Store to save items to Keep from web pages you are browsing

And recently Google has integrated Keep into Google Docs and has made it part of the productivity suite.  You can now add a bank of comments to Keep, then insert the comments into Google Docs instead of typing the same comments in over and over.

And even more exciting, check out this Blog to see how to use DocStickers to add motivational stickers (just like we used to use on paper copies) to student Docs.

The more I use Keep, the more impressed I become with it.
