We’ve all been there.  You have content in one tab that you want to see next to content on a different tab, or you need to move it, piece by piece.  It may be data that needs moved, or grades from an online assessment tool that you need to copy into your grade book app.  Or you may just want to have a Google doc or Word document open to jot down notes about anything on another screen.  What do we do? First, we separate the tabs into different windows, then we click “restore down” on each window. (Yes, “restore down” is what it’s reallyRead More →

As promised late last week, here is the first installment of the Chrome Extension of the Day.  First up is Screencastify- “Simple Screen Video Recorder”.  As a reminder, a chrome extension is a mini-program that runs through the Chrome browser, usually from a third-party (not made by Google).

I’m starting a new series today- the Chrome Extension of the Day. So, just what is a chrome extension? According to https://developer.chrome.com/extensions, and they sound like they would know, “Extensions are small software programs that can modify and enhance the functionality of the Chrome browser.”  So they are like programs that are attached to your Chrome Browser (not the device).  You find them in the Chrome Store and choose which ones you want to add to your Chrome Browser.  That way, no matter what device you are on, if you log into your Chrome Browser, all your extensions are automatically available to you.  These areRead More →
