A quick look at great technology to make your life easier
Chrome Extensions
First of all, what exactly is a Chrome extension? They are basically tools that make your Google Chrome life easier. You can choose which extensions will work best for you. Here's a video that does a great job of explaining it.
Chrome Web Store - What is an extension?
Here are some great Chrome extensions that you might want to use with students...
Grammarly
Grammarly is spell and grammar check when you are using Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and more. It will even give you word suggestions to make your sentences more powerful.
One Tab
Do you ever find yourself with too many tabs open at once? One Tab will take all the tabs you have opened and create a list of them with one click.
Picmonkey Extension
I personally love the Picmonkey app. It is the one service that I personally subscribe to each year. It makes editing and arranging pictures so much easier. With the Picmonkey extension, you can easily edit pictures with one click instead of having to open the website each time.
Save to Google Drive
With one click, you can save any website, image, or anything to your Google Drive.
Print Friendly
Print Friendly allows you to print websites without having to print all of the ads and junk. It also allows you to save websites as PDF files.
Announcify
Announcify is an extension that will read any website aloud to you. What a great resource for students who struggle with reading.
