This morning I was browsing Product Hunt when I saw someone pitching a Chrome extension that promised to let you write notes while browsing the web and save those notes to Google Drive. As I read the description I thought to myself, “that’s what Google Keep does.”
The Google Keep Chrome extension will let you bookmark websites and take notes about the site you’re bookmarking at the same time. You can also use the Google Keep Chrome extension to highlight text on a page then right-click to save it as a note along with a bookmark. All of your notes and bookmarks will sync with your Google account. Once those notes and bookmarks are synced you can access them from the “tools” drop-down menu in Google Docs and Google Slides.
Google Keep can be included in your G Suite for Education account. That’s why my G Suite for Teachers course now includes detailed instructions on how to use it.
