Screencastify is a Chrome browser extension that records your screen, face, voice, and more. To use Screencastify, find its icon in the Chrome toolbar and choose among the recording options: record a single tab in your web browser, capture all screen activity, or use your webcam to record or insert a video of yourself. This is a great way to record yourself for short (less than 5 minutes) videos for your students. It even has an option to export as a GIF!

Immersive Reader is a free tool that supports literacy development for learners regardless of age or ability!

You can even have it read Google Docs if you 'Publish to the Web' and then use the extension...
Google Keep is amazing! I could do an entire training on what all Google Keep can do...but, I'll keep it short. Start by getting the app on your phone. Then, you can take notes, make voice recordings, save web links, make lists, etc ... all in one spot. The extension is useful to save web sites, take notes while you're working and be able to access them later, and you can also share all of these.
Merge and Split Screen made easy. Press Alt+C to split and Alt+V to merge. Divide your screen into separate tabs with ease. Merge all tabs with a single click! Resize open tabs to layouts on separate windows with support for multiple displays. Pressing Alt + C allows you to separate tabs, and Alt + B - unites them. Working with multiple tabs in Chrome has never been easier! If you have at least two tabs in the selected Chrome window, it will split that window into two smaller side-by-side windows. All the tabs on the left side of the selected tab will stay in the left window, and the rest will move to the window on the right. This simple organization tool "Tab Glue" puts all of your Chrome tabs together into one window with a single click.
