Teachers are always on the lookout for new ideas about teaching practices, classroom design and organization, and how best to reach students. They also need to keep up with the technology tools they provide to students. One tool that's often taken for granted is the browser students use to access the internet, but there's a lot that teachers can do to make a browser more effective. For the many schools using Google Chrome, extensions are an easy way to adapt students' browsers and equip them with personalized support they can use on assignments and classroom activities throughout the year.

When downloading a Chrome extension, it's important to ensure that the tool is appropriate for students, including evaluating its data and privacy regulations, age restrictions, and overall connection to learning goals. Since it's easy for anyone to get their self-created extension into the Chrome Web Store, one important consideration is whether or not the extension has an Established Publisher badge, which indicates that the extension publisher is verified and meets Google's developer program policies. Be sure to also check out the Privacy Practices section of each extension before downloading.

The following are the top 10 extensions that I recommend and use, and that support student learning in the classroom. These extensions do not require students to create an account before using. Each tool can be used immediately after downloading-and they're all free.

This extension has been around for years and is still very useful to students today.

Dark Reader allows users to darken their screen and customize the brightness, contrast, gray scale, and sepia tones. Users can further customize by specifying adjustments for individual websites. For students, especially in the secondary years when screen time is more prevalent, this extension can be a great option for some students who prefer the comfort of a darker view when reading digitally, especially in low-light environments.

Students can customize how frequently these break pop-ups appear and set a schedule for the extension to run on certain days of the week and between specific times. They can also adjust how they receive reminders.

When activated on a webpage, Postlight Reader immediately eliminates ads and distractions and places the text into a format that mirrors an e-reader. Students can customize the text size and font and whether the text appears in light or dark mode for viewing comfort. For students doing research online, this extension is helpful by providing an opportunity to focus on the text in front of them and not the distracting ads that fill so many webpages.

Students can customize the highlight color, text color, and link color based on personal preference. They can also opt to have the highlights start automatically when a page loads instead of having to manually start them each time they visit a new page.

Google Translate was created and is managed by Google, and if a student highlights and right-clicks a word, it immediately takes them to the Google Translate website, where they can translate the word into multiple languages and find out more information about it.

After the video is complete, the student can view all their notes, including returning to the time stamp of their note to review the video. They can edit their comments, annotate on top of video screenshots, and export their work. This extension makes it simpler for students to track their learning than if they used a split screen and took notes in an external document.

In addition to the concerns mentioned above-privacy, data collected, and age restrictions-it's important to remember that students should only download necessary extensions. Adding too many extensions or setting all extensions to automatically run on new webpages can cause the browser to slow down. To help limit the number of extensions that students download, you can present the options above to them based on needs you observe in your classroom or on their requests.
