The following are tips, tricks, and awesome websites and extensions that can be utilized in the classroom.
Please note that these tools are always changing and updating, the tech department will not always know all the latest features nor do we have a classroom to utilize many of these tools with so the following are merely overviews of what they do and in some cases examples of how other districts have utilized these tools.

- This extension allows you to quickly save web content such as pictures, media, websites etc to your Google Drive quickly to use later.
Geogebra, Geogebra Graphing Calculator, and Graphulator
- These awesome Math Apps allow students to do graphing, 3D modeling, spreadsheets, probability, Algebra, and many others online on the Chromebook for Free. The Graphing Calculator is a great way for students who cannot afford to get a TI-82 Calculator to be able to do most or all of the same functions free. For Trig I recommend Graphulator which allows students to work with Trig, Absolute Values, Scientific Notation, Logarithms and much more!
- This Extension allows you to take screenshots and quickly clean them up add notations arrows circles, etc and even record your screen and voice.
- One of the best screen recording extensions currently in the Chromestore. Great options but does have some limitations with the free version such as time/length of video limitations.
- Sign in with Google then
- Click "redeem coupon" and enter the code: CAST_COVID
- A free online picture editing software.
- Free online video editing tool.
- Awesome tool for helping improve and correct spelling and grammar.
- This extension allows you to edit PDFs. Note that the editing feature is limited.
- One of my favorites! This allows you to take data from a Google Sheet and create individual Google Docs nicely formatted with all of the data from the Google Sheet.
- A great example of this could be taking a Google Sheet and entering each student's name for Conferences adding a name for each class ... Allow educators to put in comments for students then Run Autocrat to create a separate Google Doc for each student and their family that can be shared with them.
- Highlighter tool that allows you to highlight websites and it does its best to keep those highlights for the next time you visit.
