Undo Closed Tabs
How many times have you accidentally closed a browser tab before you were finished, or needed to go back to something hours later and forgotten the link?
SimpleUndoClose is a Chrome Extension that keeps a history of your closed tabs so that you can easily get them back if you need to.
SSO: Single Sign On
Single Sign On, or SSO, is when software systems agree to use the same logins across programs.
Currently in our setting, many educational programs use the Google log in SSO. For example, Socrative, Quizlet, and WeVideo use SSO.
We have two programs new to the SSO (with Google) game. NoodleTools (instructions) and BrainPOP (instructions) now use your (or student) Google accounts to log in.
