Getting Started with Chrome extension - Diigo help - 0 views

  • Use the “Save” option to bookmark a page. Bookmarking saves a link to the page in your online Diigo library, allowing you to easily access it later.
  • Highlighting can also be accomplished from the context pop-up. After the Chrome extension is installed, whenever you select text on a webpage, the context pop-up will appear, allowing you to accomplish text-related annotation. Highlight Pop-up Menu – After you highlight some text, position your mouse cursor over it and the highlight pop-up menu will appear. The highlight pop-up menu allows you to add notes to, share, or delete the highlight.
  • Sticky Note Click the middle icon on the annotation toolbar to add a sticky note to the page. With a sticky note, you can write your thoughts anywhere on a web page.

Getting Started with Diigolet - Diigo help - 0 views

  • Tags help you find and organize your bookmarks by letting you select all of your bookmarks with a certain tag or combination of tags. Quickly add relevant tags to a bookmark by clicking on any of the recommended tags that appear under the description field on the “Save Bookmark” pop-up. When you are satisfied with the information in the “Save Bookmark” pop-up, click the “Save Bookmark” button. Now a link to the page is stored in your Diigo library, and the information you entered is stored with it.
  • Highlight Highlighting lets you denote important information on a page, just like highlighting in a book, but with Diigo, the highlighted text will be conveniently saved to your library as well. There are some important things for me to denote on my recipe. My wife doesn’t like pineapple, my grandfather can’t have eggs or chocolate, and I don’t like coconut very much, so I highlight those items on the recipe to let me know I need to deal with them. Highlight by clicking “Highlight” on the Diigolet. Then select the text you want to highlight. The text will be visually highlighted and the text is now stored in your library. It’s that easy. Click the button again to exit highlighter mode. You can also change the color of a highlight by clicking the downward-pointing arrow next to “Highlight” and choosing a color. Colors are useful for differentiating different types of highlights. I will use a different color for each of the different people I need to consider.
  • To add a sticky note to a highlight, simply move your mouse cursor over a highlight. When the little pop-up tab with the pencil on it appears, move the cursor to it and a menu will appear. Choose “Add Sticky Notes”. Now you can type and post a sticky note just like before, but this time it will be tied to the highlighted text.

Chrome Extensions for Educators - Google Docs - 2 views

  •  
    This google Doc has over 50 extensions on it, there are some really cool things that I never realized that you could do before. I really liked the extension called Ginger which corrects your spelling and grammar directly in your Gmail.

    This is a very informative list of chrome extensions. I like a lot of the extensions that dealt with privacy such as Collusion. It lets you see what sites track your information in the background, and helps you to stop them if you wish.

SpeakIt! - 2 views

  •  
    Tired of reading? Select text you want to read and listen to it. SpeakIt converts text into speech so you no longer need to read. SpeakIt is an app that uses Google and iSpeech text-to-speech service. It allows students to select text and it will read it in more than 50 languages. I think this will be a great tool for English learners and special education students because it will offer material in a different way. Some schools do not have translators for English learners and this app is going to facilitate their communication with the teachers as well as their understanding of the material.
  •  
    This is a really cool extension. I especially love that it is able to read other languages.

Stockton University - Calendar - Week of Mar 20, 2016 - 1 views

  •  
    Google Calendar is exactly what the title states; a calendar. The calendar is like any other google extension in that it is accessable anywhere and the teacher has control. This would allow teachers to post and edit assignments from anywhere and allow students to access it at anytime. This is especially useful for those students who are constantly losing things. 
  •  
    This is similar to mine. However I believe this is the future of of most teaching. The ease of online use and grading makes teaching much more effective and accessible.

    This article highlights 15 Educational Chrome Extensions that both students and educators can make use of and implement in their learning process. One of the chrome extensions mentioned that I found most useful was called "Spell Bee". This chrome extension acts as a spell checker. It is a proofreader that works on any website. One of the most useful features is that you can add your own word substitutions.

Report Comments Bank - Chrome Web Store - 3 views

  •  
    Report Comments Bank is a Google extension app for educators. The app helps teachers shorten the amount of time to write progress reports and it allows teachers to create, save and edit reports throughout the year. Being able to save the reports throughout the year also saves teachers hours from creating end of the year reports. The app is quick and easy to learn and saves teachers a lot of time from writing report cards. This app would be helpful for us because it would help future educators complete reports on time and also have more time to create lesson plans. Reviewers rate this app with five stars for how convenient and how easy it is to use.
  •  
    This looks like a great extension. Teachers time seems to always be stretched very thin. By helping teachers save more time they can put more time into classroom lessons and activities. I agree that this is a beneficial extension for any teacher.
  •  
    Wow, that's extremely useful in many ways! Of course any way to save time for a teacher is key. But this also gives the teacher an easy way to track progress of individual students, and really see what areas they shine or need an extra push in. I could also see this as a great way to pass a student off to the next grade level. Upon the new school year, it would be great to give a comprehensive report of the students prior year to each teacher they are starting with. This way, if the student is experiencing the same struggles, there might be a different solution the new teacher can use, or if something worked in the past they could try that method again!

Education upgraded: Elementary schools integrate technology to improve classroom learning. - 1 views

  •  
    Nearly 100% of all Hastings Elementary students have learned how to create basic computer codes. This was accomplished by exposing K-4 graders to something called "block coding" which is where students are given a set of blocks that represent commands. They use these blogs to "debug" and "create" a program. The article also outlines technology literacy.
