NEW: Google Keep & Books!

In English class today, we learned about these two new tools called Google Keep and Books. Google Keep is a program where it allows you to set your own reminders on this digital "bulletin board". From trying it, I found ways to organize the notes better by using different colors. Personally, I think the best part of Google Keep is the ability to share the reminders with other just by entering their emails. Also, I can add images with the reminders. When I get assignments, I can just snap a picture of the direction sheet and add it instead of typing it. Last but not least, I can create lists on the notes. Using this feature, I can cross out whatever I already accomplished on that list. I felt that this is an amazingly useful tool for many things such as shopping lists, assignments, as well as traveling. Once I start using this tool, I won't forget any necessities such as a toothbrush(?), because it is also accessible from my phone!

Secondly, we learned about Google Books. I already knew about this feature, as I use the Google search engines often and have come across Google Books several times. I think that the best part about this is the previews. Without purchasing it, you can briefly read a few pages without loading the entire book in case you don't like the book. However, I was shocked to find out that you can also read the whole book for free! This is obviously cheaper than going to a bookstore by train and purchasing a book since I usually don't read the same books more than 3 or 4 times. Also, I can make my own folders. It is helpful since I can categorize the folders, making organizing much easier.
