→ Download Google Chrome by clicking here
→ What’s a Chrome Extension? Mini-Programs you can add to your
Google Chrome browser that make life easier. Here are some of my favorites
→ Announcify (Reads a web page to you)
→ Clearly (Gets rid of everything on a page but the text. Makes for easy
reading)
→ One Tab (Puts your Chrome Tabs onto one page)
→ Goobric (allows you to add a rubric onto the end of a Google Doc.
Works alongside the Doctopus Script)
→ Wolfram Alpha (Think of it as a STEM Search engine. For example, try
searching for “flights overhead”. So. Freaking. Cool.)
→ Citable (Let’s you collect web resources easily onto one spreadsheet.
Great for students doing research!)
→ Turn Off the Lights! (Makes everything go dark except for a video you’re
playing).
