Embedded Files
This page has been designed to collate and share our favourite Chrome apps - so far! It will grow as the pilot progresses. As we use them we will add our anecdotes and feedback below. Apps can be installed by a user themselves or they can be installed en masse, by a forced roll out to groups, so they are automatically in their launch icon on their Chromebooks, just like the image to the left, it literally takes seconds to install an app for a group of users. Google Apps can be found in the Chrome Web Store you can also create your own 'store' for your organisation in your GAFE console.
The ones below are all free apps, some will also work offline. Where a file is ‘saved’ after being created e.g Online Voice Recorder, files will be saved to the user's Google Drive. The apps are in the browser and not device dependent, so if a learner logs on to the browser from any device all the apps will still be there.
Many educators are sharing online about the apps they use, here are some great examples - 13 must have apps for Music Teachers and the best 3 apps for art and drawing. We will aim to create resource guides for every subject too. This example is focused on the 'how to' 60 ways for Maths Teachers to use Google Classroom again something we'll develop over time.
We are also exploring Data Loggers and equipment for Science that can be used on the Chromebooks using ideas from Vernier and Pasco
