"My series on Chrome Extensions for Teachers. The Chrome web store has  apps and it has extensions. Extensions are add on's that that increase your functionality in the Google Chrome browser." This is the search of Alice's blog on Chrome Extensions which contains links to all of her posts on extensions.

Google Chrome is such a great resource for students. First things first, the browser allows users to sign in to Chrome anywhere and bring up bookmarks, history, and settings, an incredible feature for students on-the-go who are using multiple computers. In addition to this useful feature are a wealth of awesome extensions that students can use to save time and concentrate their efforts. We've found 21 time-saving Chrome extensions that students can put to use, from note-taking apps to books, citations, and reminders.

"Later this week I am going to be a virtual guest in a class at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. The topic I've been invited to speak about is using Google Chrome extensions and apps in education. In preparation for my virtual visit I've created this list of some of my favorite apps and extensions."

"This app uses the new built in speech feature in chrome 11+ to create a useful powerful tool to use voice to do the normal typing jobs . The app is essentially an in the browser speech recognizer using which you can dictate sentences , edit the output and add them together to form paragraphs. This app is best used along with Voice In chrome extension [ also developed by me ]. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gjkogfbjkfchelfjonefnnenhfgglpnn Please Note : Speech Recognition is a statistical model . You cant expect a 100% accuracy rate . But not to worry recognition is rate is good enough to use :) I'd appreciate if you'd rate it with ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ and tell your friends! :-) "

"We thought it would be fun to poll our Google+ Community and see what extensions make your lives easier and put together a friendly guide.  We received TONS of responses and are thrilled to share them with you all. In each section below, you will find a link to the extension in case you'd like to check it out and review's from your fellow Google+ Community members.  For a teaser, we'll let you know that the extension that was most popular out of all the responses comes from the Security/Privacy category.  Any guesses?  It is Last Pass which helps in storing all those pesky passwords!"

"Chrome is not only a browser but the power of extensions enables computers in the same network to share desktops. Adding the extension Remote Desktop, from the Chrome Web Store allows one computer to share its desktop giving the other computer access and control. "

Wow what a great chrome extension. This looks like a great tool for all writers. I especially like the 'collect highlights' tool. Make sure you watch the accompanying video to see how it works.  Read&Write for Google Docs is a cool extension I found on Web App Reviews that can benefit ELLs and struggling readers. The extension provides you with a special toolbar on the top of your Google documents.

A great extension for Google Chrome. That allows you to take screen shots and then annotate them. This would be very useful for teachers and or students who create 'how to' instructional projects. 

This would be a great start for anyone with Chromebooks or just using the Chrome browser to get the most out of the experience

"Screencastify is a screencasting extension for Google Chrome. It allows you to record your screen activity for creating tutorials, etc, and runs entirely in Chrome, so opens the possibility of screencasting up to Chromebook owners. Here's how to use it."

A great chrome web app. Easy mind mapping tool that allows you to save to the cloud using google account. Available on Android too. Worth a look if your school has Chrome installed.

Created my first Google Chrome extension which is a productivity tool for the creation of QR Codes. Simply click the button to produce a QR code of the page your on, you can also right click a hyperlink or selected text to produce a downloadable QR Code.

"Making a Chrome App and an Extension is actually a fairly simple task. All you have to know is a few required fields and the JSON syntax."
