Google Keep Now on iOS

I have used Google Keep for some time now and really enjoy the benefits of having an online notepad, but the only limit was that I was not able to get this of my iPhone. 

Now Google as create the Keep app for iOS. 

Google Keep - Your thoughts, wherever you are by Google, Inc.

I have used the app and for the first time I have not found a limitation from the web version to the iOS platform. It does get better you can add a voice recording directly in the app itself and it will dictate your voice to text and includes the voice recording in the note. The only thing you will need to add is the title of the note. 

Once you click on the Mic. You will create a new note. Also the dictation is set up to start automatically, so this is fast for someone that need to record their information. 

Yes, you still can use Siri if you would like to. But with the note keeping the voice recording file I would not be using Siri. 

Turning off Wifi Assist for iOS Devices

I do not have unlimited data so this feature can cause some problems for someone like myself without unlimited data. 

This new iOS feature lets your phone determine if you are in a low or slow wifi environment to use cellular data to help you to receive information faster. 

I have selected to turn off this feature to help control the amount of data my phone could potential use without my knowledge when connected to wifi. 

The steps to turn off this feature are listed below. 

Open "Settings"

Once in Settings, select "Cellular" 

Scroll to the bottom of the Cellular Menu

At the bottom you will find the field to turn off "Wi-Fi Assist"

Hope this helps you to save data. 

Making your Google Classroom Calendar Viewable on your Webpage

Adding a calendar to your webpage is very helpful to parents. Parents are not able to get into classroom do to the fact they do not have an account in the educational domain in which their student goes to school. Parents are not able to see the assignments their child are being assigned during the school day.

Leaving students being questioned by their parents about what project do you have and what assignment are you getting in school? With the addition of Google Classroom Calendar now posting an assignment is automatically to a calendar, teacher can make this calendar public on the web for parent to see from the teacher's classroom webpage.

In the video below you will learn how you can make this happen.
