What is an Extension?
Extensions are small programs you can install in Google Chrome that will give it additional functionality.
For example, if you are signed into your NN account in Chrome, you should see a purple puzzle piece at the top-right corner of your screen.
This is the Read&Write extension, which helps make it easy in Chrome to hear a webpage or Google Doc read aloud.

What is an App?
With a few exceptions, most educational Chrome apps tend to just be links to the websites they represent.
For example, if you install the NewsELA app, it will not add any extra functionality for students, it will just put a link to NewsELA in the students' app launchers on their Chromebooks.
Generally it is a better practice to create a bookmark for a site rather than install an app for it.
