In the classroom and at home I've always been a big fan of sticky notes...big stickies, small stickies, lined stickies (my favorites), and different color stickies! Basically I use them all the time. I don't think I can totally abandon using them, but I think I can cut back on my use of them by using Google Keep!!
I found Keep to be a great application. After watching the YouTube tutorial on Google Keep I found it very easy to use. There are so many great features with Keep including the checklist feature, color-coding, adding an image, reminders, and being able to share a note with other people.
One of the things that I found to be most useful was the checklist feature. I really like being able to check off my 'to do' list, and be able to see it crossed off. I can definitely see myself using the checklist next year in the classroom to help organize my day.
Another thing that I like about Keep is being able to share a note with someone else. I can see myself sharing notes with my colleagues instead of sending emails. It really can be a quick and easy way to communicate throughout a day/week.
I am glad I am not the only post-it lover at Greeley!! I am wondering it there would be a way for you and I to use Google Keep when we share students. Perhaps as a checklist for what a child has completed. I am thinking maybe with the biography report or Great Brain. The student and both of us could have access and then easily see what step they are on.
