Part 1 can be found here and Part 2 here. Below you will discover extensions 11-15 that may well transform your life. OK maybe not, but you might find them quite useful on your main computer connected to the IWB/projector. 11. Currrently Ideal to get the time on your IWB by simply opening a new tab in Chrome - [Ctrl]-T shortcut fans. You don't even need the Google Search box that opens automatically upon creating a new tab - just use the omnibox at the top to search as well. Replace it with this and you get a weather forecast as a bonus too. 1̶2̶.S̶n̶a̶g̶i̶t̶ G̶r̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶l̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶c̶r̶e̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶s̶c̶r̶e̶e̶n̶s̶h̶o̶t̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶s̶c̶r̶e̶e̶n̶c̶a̶s̶t̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶l̶i̶n̶k̶s̶ ̶d̶i̶r̶e̶c̶t̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶G̶o̶o̶g̶l̶e̶ ̶D̶r̶i̶v̶e̶.̶ ̶ This hasn't been working well for me lately so have been using Screencastify instead! 12. Screencastify13. ColorPick EyedropperMaking a Google Slides presentation, for example, and want the exact colours of a logo to use as a font colour? This extension uses an eyedropper to gain a reading of any colour you may need from a website. I matched the Chrome logo colours in the above blog title using this extension, for example. 14. Betternet VPNIf you're needing access to a particular website for learning that is blocked by your establishment, or even if your internet is running really slowly this may help you get around this issue, albeit on a temporary basis until your IT team can unblock it for you. 15. ExtensityWith all these extensions Extensity will be your saviour. Allows you to turn on or off your extensions from your toolbar - keeping your browser running fast and allowing you to keep your toolbar clutter-free.
