Check out these great Google extensions!

If you are a google user and you are familiar with Google apps and extensions for education, you may be familiar with these great add-ons.   If you are new to the Google experience or just haven’t ventured past the basics, here are my tips for extensions that are very beneficial and game changers.  

Timer

You can set the timer for any time you want. When your time is up, you’ll hear the alarm sound.

Readability

 Google Keep

This ext/app (on phone) creates bright colorful notes. You won’t forget to do anything important any more!  Google keep was highlighted at a tech conference, and what really blew me away was the ability to take a photo of text on a page.  It then will clear all the clutter around the text, and it is viewed as plain text page.  You can then use this same text image to open in a reading extension in chrome and your students now have the ability to have the article read to them!  Here’s more on Google Keep, check it out.
