INTC 2610

This article goes over several very useful chrome extension used in education. One such extension is quizlet, which is a useful replacement to the standard flashcard. The article also talked about google's new dominance in the educational technology sector.

This article is very similar to mine in that the applications they suggest using. Google is an excellent and efficient way for every student to keep themselves organized and prompt with obligations that they have. This article also goes in depth about what the individual apps do.

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.

SpeakIt! lets you highlight any text from a website and converts it into speech. With latest text-to-speech abilities added to software, reading through lines of text may now become optional for those who prefer a faster, more accessible alternative. The technology extension can detect over 50 languages. In addition to US and UK English, the extension can also translate text into Spanish, Chinese, French, Italian and Russian, to name a few.

I think this is a very cool extension. It will also become very popular in the world of assistive technology for special needs students I think. Some students may have problems reading especially from computer screens and this will help with those issues both in the classroom and at home.

This article I found extremely informative because it shows teachers 50 of the best google chrome extensions to use. The top 1 extension was google drive because teachers can easily save all of their information to it and even share it for their students to see.

I use my google Drive for everything! If didn't have it I would be one disorganized person. I have a personal Google Drive and a school one and it has been a life saver. I wish that I had this years ago. I feel like I have only really had my google drives for the last 2 1/2 years, I am unfamiliar when it would have come out, though.

Quickly create a new Google Doc. It's just a single click from your menu bar. I found this really cool because it's an easy way to access your google doc without going into your drive!

I love google docs and found this article taught me a few things that I did not know about it!

Does what its suppose to do. The extension is a good time saver for people who use google docs more often than everyone. I hate waiting for docs to load in order to create a new document.

This article peaked my interest: Within the next ten years, de Blasio is requiring all of the city's public schools to offer computer science for all students.These courses will only be offered as electives. The main concern for this is finding enough teachers that are properly trained and training others. Computer science jobs are among the fastest growing. They are also the some of the highest paying jobs.  Computer sciences are primarily dominated by white or Asian males. With these courses being available to all students in elementary schools, hopefully the number of minorities and girls who will be interested will increase.

This article is useful because it compares and contrasts the use of technology and technology integration. Which I think is so often misunderstood.

This article provides helpful tools or "life hacks" for fellow teachers to help them with their instructional technology lessons. Ed tech teachers are always looking for easier and more effective ways to communicate with their students as well as help their students with an understanding of educational technology. This article simply provides an aid for those educators in the pursuit of better tricks to improve everyday life.

One main concern with integrating technology into the classroom is who is going to teach the current teachers how to use this technology if they don't know .. well here is a great article for teachers who are struggling with technology. Learn It In 5 is a relatively new site that features short how-to videos for teachers. The videos are intended to help teachers quickly learn how to use some of the the web tools are essential to being a successful user of classroom technology. The videos cover tools like Skype, Diigo, VoiceThread, and more.

This is an interesting article because it goes over the ways teachers are trying to stop children from circumventing reading assignments using technology.

I think this article is very helpful on how to bring technology and art together. It gives many examples on how to use technology and art such as the iPad green screen videos the class made and the Art and Technology night they host at the school. I would definitely use the examples in this article in my class room.

This article is great because it provides insight into how art and technology can be helpful to each other. Unfortunately art is often overlooked in education but this article explains how it can be salvaged through the use of educational technology.

I found this article most interesting because it talked about how some school districts are now getting funding that is allowing their students to have their own personal computer that can be used for school work. It allows them to personalize and download things on to their own computer.

This article calls into question finding a balance between technology and educators in a classroom. It describes a need to find a way for technology to enhance teachers, not replace them. This relates to our class because as we are learning to use new technologies, we must also learn how to effectively incorporate them into a classroom in a way that augments what we are teaching to students.

Use the Hightlight extension to highlight important text on specific web pages in different colors! This would be extremely helpful in classrooms, especially when teaching students how to research and find important words and phrases in text!

This definitely seems like a useful tool, not only for teachers but for people who want to share certain parts of an article. I always feel like sharing certain parts of article or stories with friends is tricky to achieve online, but this seems like it would make it much easier, and the fact that there are multiple different colors to choose from makes it that much better

Google Chrome's extension One Tab can be helpful to not only teachers, but people who love to have multiple tabs open at one. This extension allows the user to compile their tabs into a single list clearing up their computer screen making it easier to navigate and sort through the multiple tabs they have open. One of the cool functions this extension performs is allowing a person to export and import their tab list as URLs. It can also allow one to create a webpage from their list of tabs. If a teacher had a bunch of websites they wanted their students to look at they could use this function to send it to them instead of simply listing each website individually. 

I found this post really interesting because this would be something I would definitely use! I get so confused when I have a million tabs open at once, I always click on all of them until I can find the right one. This extension would definitely benefit many students and teachers and keep their lives more organized!

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.

The extension about keeping students organized seems really cool, its something that I would even use on my own computer!

I liked this site. I even downloaded the MYSTUDYLIFE app because I thought it may be helpful in the final stretch of the semester.
