Tips on Google Chrome Extensions
Several teachers at PlaydateLA came up with a few great Google Chrome extensions. Here are a few that caught my attention:
- EdPuzzle: Add your own questions to videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and other video sources to provide accountability, tie in with lessons, and spark interest. Click here for more info.
- DFYouTube: "Distraction free" YouTube pages... this extension hides the distracting playlist on the right side of a YouTube page. Pretty clever! Click here to see and download.
- ScreenCastify: Record up to 10 minutes of your computer screen with your narration, and save to your Google Drive. Nice! You can use a webcam feed with your smiling face as well. Click here for details.
- ProjectNAPTHA: Need to grab some text from a webpage? Many times you're denied, especially if it's in an image. ProjectNAPTHA works to pull text from just about any image onscreen, allowing you to copy and paste it elsewhere. More info is here.
All of these extensions and more can be added from the Google Web Store; all listed above are free.
