Basic, One-Click Chrome Extensions Every One Should Know About!

New to chrome extensions?  Need to be more efficient on your computer?  That is why I love these chrome extensions.  Not only do they require just one-click to use them, but they require no computer skills.  These are the first chrome extensions that I used to learn about extensions.  Even though I use many more chrome extensions now, I still use these to save time and be more efficient.

 How do I download Chrome extensions?  

 Watch the video to learn how to download a chrome extension.



One Tab

 When I am working on my computer, I have a HUGE open tab problem.  One tab solved my problem of always having a million tabs open.  All you need to do is download one tab to your chrome taskbar.  Then, when you notice you have a lot of tabs open, just click the one tab icon.  After this, all your open tabs can be found on a single page.  The other interesting part of this extension is that you can then import the page and send the page to yourself for later reference or to your students so they can access the pages that you had open.

 One-Click Full Page ScreenShot

 This chrome extension is a real time saver and simple to use.  After downloading this extension, all you have to do it click the camera on your chrome taskbar (see picture below).  After you click the camera, another tab opens with a full-page screenshot of whatever page you were currently on.

Grammarly

 Everyone could always use extra editing help.  That is why I love Grammarly.  All you do is download the extension and it works for you!  Whenever you are writing an email, blog or most of your favorite sites, Grammarly is working to double-check your spelling and grammar.  Teachers just need to look for the underlined words to find any possible errors. 
Save to Google Drive

 This is a fun chrome extension because it allows you to efficiently save pictures or websites to google drive.  After downloading the extension, all you need to do to save an image or website is right-click.  Then, click on save to google drive and it will automatically be waiting for you in your google drive folder.

 Tab Scissors

 This is an extension that can really help with productivity.  Any time that you want to split the screen on your computer, you just need to click on Tab Scissors and it automatically splices your screen.

 Tab Glue

 Tab Glue works with Tab Scissors.  After you have used tab scissors, to quickly put your tabs back together, all you need to do is click on tab glue.  This will put all your tabs back together on one full screen.

 I love using these extensions because they help me be more efficient and save time when working on my computer, plus they are super simple to use and require just one-click.

Zoom- I finally figured you out! :D

Image
                          Week Three of school and I finally figured out a good, workable flow to zoom!  I have been getting so many questions on how to structure live video classes.  Below is my zoom schedule for my 85 minute classes. Attendance, Wellness Check and Goal Setting (5 minutes)                         During the initial first five minutes of zoom, I login to zoom.  I have them wait in the waiting room, until they are done with their attendance poll, wellness check and goal setting discussion board.  I give the students five minutes to do all of these things.  In the meantime, I am seeing who showed up live to my zoom class and doing the attendance through the zoom waiting room. Below is a picture of what my wellness check and goal setting looks like for my class.  Add caption For more ideas on how I do...

Easy Daily Attendance for Remote Learning (Before You Lose Your Mind)

When school started I was not prepared for how stressful attendance would be! Trying to figure out who logged in and when was just a lot of work, especially when you have kids sitting in front of you.  After trying a few different things, this method is the easiest one that I was able to find. I saw different ideas about using different forms for each class and it started to get too complicated.  Instead, I created one form.  If you want a copy of my google form, click on the link and make a copy. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1yGnyiiKeTDRaE-53n-Bb6lDX89-kokdXCJdpwEAN4Lk/copy If you take the form and edit it so that it fits your class, then you can just click share and copy the link on your learning management system.  I decided to keep my form short and sweet.  My first form I created had different questions and I decided it was too much and it took the students too long. I decided to simplify my form and ask only for the student's first and last name...

Mr. Wong in APRIL! Zoom Expectations and Routines

Image
This guy fills my month of August.  Every educator knows that every school year must start with the routines and procedures that Harry Wong outlines in his classroom management books.  When the year starts off strong with routines and procedures in place, they become normalcy.  However, this year had a completely different turn of events.  This is the first year that I had to revisit Mr. Wong in APRIL! After my first week of zoom sessions, I realized that something needed to change quickly.  As I was turning my wheels, I realized that I needed to re-set my classroom environment, culture, procedures and expectations.  In this whole new environment, students no longer understood the behavioral expectations that were required of them.  I quickly had to re-outline what those expectations were and have the students practice their online routines.  Below I came up with a couple quick steps to quickly place some routines and expectations into your zoo...
