Today's post is like appetizers: lots of choice, not much food. I am condensing ten lists of five extensions from Alice Keeler’s blog Teacher Tech and only providing a snippet of information for each. Check out her posts if you would like more information on them. Earlier I looked at apps for Chrome which appear as a page in Chrome. These appear next to the address box on the right of the browser itself..
Disclaimer: I found one with ads that popped up which I removed from the list. It didn't happen immediately so just be aware that can happen. Go to the three bars and click tools and extensions and you can disable them and add back one at a time.

Or you could use it with that student who isn’t willing to follow your guidelines.
Now remember you “buy” these at the Chrome Store. Go to the bottom of the left menu and select Extensions. Then you can either browse on your own or search for these by title.
I only showed you about half of Alice’s choices.
