Extensions are tools that make learning and creating easier.
When designing presentations or creating artwork, the Colorzilla extension helps you "pick" the colors from a different source such as a photo or website.
Properly citing sources will strengthen your writing. Learn how to properly cite any source - a website, photo, book - with the Easybib extension.
The Google Keep extension is a great tool for note taking. Not only will a notepad appear on the website you are researching, but it will also automatically save the web address.
If you want to learn another language or check your English writing skills, use the Google Translate extension.
Become a better writing by fixing and learning from your mistakes with the Grammarly extension. Only students who use the free version of Grammarly to fix small mistakes will earn As in this class.
Read&Write "provides personalized support to make documents, web pages and common file types in Google Drive (including: Google Docs, PDF & ePub) more accessible." The students' free version is not as robust as the teacher version, but includes a picture dictionary. The teacher version is a premium version that includes the ability to read the text aloud in multiple accents and languages.
The Screencastify extension should already be installed on your Chromebooks. This extension allows you to record your screen and voice as you share what you have learned.
Sometimes I need to view two Chrome tabs at once. I use the shortcut CTRL + Shift + 2 with the Tab Resize extension.
Sometimes you just need a timer to stay focused. This timer extension is recommended by Davieana Knox.
