My “MUST HAVE” CHROME Extensions & Apps

Each year I like to reflect on the chrome extensions and apps that work well for me. I will share these tools I use routinely, if not daily. Some I have used for years others I just added to my tool box recently. It is amazing how they make my regular teaching life more efficient, effective and sometimes get taken for granted. Here is my list and no prioritized order, just the way they sit on my browser.
