7. 1. Link Chooser Add-On for Google Docs
This amazing tool allows the user to search through their Google Drive to add a link to a previously created document. Users no longer need to open drive, find the document, click on share, and copy the link to add the document into a working Google Doc. That’s a huge time saver.

8. 2. Turn Off the Lights Chrome Extension
Turn Off the Lights Chrome Extension helps individuals who are bothered or distracted by the content around a video player. (Ex: YouTube) We watch movies in the dark so that we only focus on the film—why not do this with your YouTube and website videos? Imagine the increased focus for students; no more distractions and scrolling ads.

9. 3. Twitter Curator Add-On for Google Docs
Many of us have used or use Storify, Story Crawler, Paper.li and Storyful to archive a social media event or edtech chat. Did you know that you can now create your own “story” or favorite tweet document from a specific user or hashtag? Twitter curator allows you to filter by user, hashtag or topic. Teachers can create incredible resources for inspiration, research, student examples and much more.

10. 4. Openclipart Add-On for Google Docs
Remember clip art for Microsoft Works and Word? Users could include the clipart images without breaking copyright and the documents were immediately more appealing. Now you can search through more than 50,000 images to spruce up your documents, adding a visual appeal for the reader—legally.

11. 5. Speech Recognition Add-On for Google Docs
Siri and Cortana have taken over the smartphone voice-command world, and this simple tool will do the same for your students who can’t type quickly or type at all. Users can even state punctuation marks just as they can with Siri. This is also a great tool for students who wish to take notes but can’t type as fast as needed.

12. 6. Pocket Google Chrome Extension
If you’re searching the web for resources and want to save them in one location to view later, this is the Chrome extension for you. Use Pocket to view articles, and categorize them (article, video, image, tag) so you can find them easily. Better yet, sync to your phone, tablet, or other devices, to allow for anytime viewing.

13. 7. Print Friendly Chrome Extension
All too often we find an article on a website surrounded by images and bothersome ads. This add-on allows you to remove anything from the view in order to print or download a clean PDF.

14. 8. Sidekick for Gmail Chrome Extension
This amazing tool is your Gmail inbox’s new best friend, allowing you to track who opens an and how often an is opened, as well as view the profile of a sender and schedule s to be sent later. Tracking s can be a lifesaver allowing you to see who has and hasn’t opened an important .

15. 9. Share to Classroom Chrome Extension
Google Classroom is not overly complicated and, thankfully, several digital tools, such as EdPuzzle (see below), allow you to connect directly to Google Chrome to add assignments. Share to Classroom is another great extension that allows teachers to share a website directly to a class in Google Classroom which results in the simultaneous launch of a specific website on all student devices.

16. 10. EdPuzzle Chrome Extension
If you’ve never used EdPuzzle, here’s a quick rundown—Teachers can use EdPuzzle to search for videos accompanied by assessments with ready-to-use questions. But, what if you can’t find the video you want? With the Chrome extension, teachers can search YouTube for videos they wish to use in EdPuzzle. Once the video is found, click the “Edit with EdPuzzle” button underneath, and the video will be pushed into edit mode for cropping, comments, questions and audio track (only if you’re already logged in). This is a huge time-saver and allows you to connect easier with a powerful learning tool.
