How can Google Extensions be used in the classroom?

Google Extensions can be used for many different things in the classroom. In the store, there is an extension called Adblock for Youtube™. This extension blocks the advertisements that play before you watch a YouTube video. This would be especially helpful in the classroom when you're pressed for time to show your students a video, but don't have time for those annoying ad's. There are apps that can help you to read something that is really long. BeeLine Reader is an extension that changes the color of lines on your screen so that you can read text easier. This extension can also be used in the classroom for students who have trouble following along in a paragraph. This can help them to stay on track and in the right place.
