Google Chrome Extensions and Blogger

 There are a huge number of extensions that can be added to Chrome, making it easier and more efficient for teachers and students to use. This is especially important as so many districts shifted to remote learning and now to a hybrid model of learning. The extensions are found in the Chrome Web Store and are extremely easy to install and use. The ones I found most useful are ScreenShot Capture & Edit Tool, Alice Keeler Class roster, and Random Student Generator

The screenshot capture and edit tool can be used to take an image of a website and add notes and things like circles around important information. I plan on using this extension to both collect information to share with students and also to have them collect information and share it with each other and me.

Randomly choosing a student to share during a remote class meeting can be easily achieved using the Random Student Generator designed especially for use with a Google Classroom.

There are numerous tutorials on how to maximize the applications in Chrome and some good ones are located here: https://skillshop.exceedlms.com/student/path/61209-fundamentals-training
