From one of MY Favorite Google Educators - Intro to Google Classroom from Amy Mayer
Google’s Tone Chrome Extension Transmits Between Computers via Sound
To get started, install the Tone extension for Chrome (http://g.co/tone). Then simply open a tab with the URL you want to share, make sure your volume is on, and press the Tone button. Your machine will then emit a short sequence of beeps. Nearby machines receive a clickable notification that will open the same tab. Getting everyone on the same page has never been so easy!

Finally A Way To Get Notified Every Time A Google Drive Folder Is Changed - The Gooru
Automate the Grading Process with Flubaroo
From The Gooru - 11/17/15
In this age of technology, no teacher should ever have to grade a multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blank assessment again. Let your computer do that by building quizzes using Google forms and use the Add-on Flubaroo to grade the assessment. Students can take the quiz using their computer or mobile device. Then teachers can run Flubaroo to instantly grade the quizzes and distribute them to students automatically through email. The whole process is easy and fast.
