Sketch with Google Keep

Use the Drawing Feature in Google Keep

Google Keep is a quick note taking app with some amazing features. One of my favorite Google Keep features is the ability to take a picture of something with text on it and extracting the text out of the picture.

Draw a Note

If you need to make a quick sketch, Google Keep has you covered. Since it’s a Google product it syncs to the cloud and your drawing is available anywhere! Use the Google Keep app on your phone or the web application.
Draw a note

At the topish of Google Keep is the ability to “Take a note…” Clicking in that box will allow you to take a note, but notice the other options within the box. Create a checklist, draw a sketch, or add a picture.
Make a note with drawings

Click on the paintbrush icon to sketch a note. You will be presented with a blank canvas to draw your sketch. Use the grid icon to change from a blank canvas to graph paper or dots.

Insert into Google Slides

Google Keep integrates with Google Docs and Slides. Try using the shortcut slides.new to make a blank Google Slides. On the right hand side is the Google Keep icon.

The note you just sketched will be in the side panel. Note: You need to have exited the note for it to have saved. If you are still writing it is not available.

Clearly Communicate Ideas

Google Slides are multi-media. This allows students to combine pictures, video, text boxes, screenshots, and sketches together to clearly communicate their ideas.
