Apps, Extensions, and Favorites

We discussed at your handout session that you can download apps onto your device. We also discussed how the district will purchase apps for you based on your teacher’s request. So a teacher requests an app for you, how do you go in and get it?
The answer is the Chrome Web Store!

This resource is available on the Chrome browser on any device you are using! That’s one of the great things about Google Chrome; whenever you sign into Google Chrome browser on a device, all of your resources are available as if you were on your own device.

CAUTION: Too many extensions can slow down your Chrome browser performance and/or cause minor bugs. Extensity is a good extension to easily turn extensions off when not in use.

Using Bookmarks (Favorites) in Google Chrome

Bookmarks, also known as "Favorites," in Google Chrome allow you to quickly access sites that you return to often. With bookmarks, you can have a menu of sites to return to, or you can even have them one click away on your top bar.

Check out the tutorial video on the right for different ways to add bookmarks and organize them.
