This may be our last ever free webinar, to help you create interactive student or class projects with Google Apps.

Google Apps are great for making documents and slideshows, but did you know you and your students can also use them to make digital interactives?

These interactives provide great ways for students to demonstrate their knowledge or explore concepts and content.

In this fast-paced session, join Meredith Martin as she explains how to use Google Slides and Google Drawings to go beyond the basics with your class to create interactive reports, projects, lessons, and more!

Come on in whenever you're ready! The webinar begins every 15 minutes. <- YES! Click right there.

The Google ecosystem provides a wide range of powerful programs to help you do pretty much anything you need. This includes browsing the web, typing a document, creating a slideshow, sending email, collecting data, and so much more.

However, even with all the features in their tools, Google knows they can't do everything. There is probably some task you wish you could do, but can't.

To help address this, Google allows third parties to create tools to extend the functions and features of Chrome, Docs, Sheet, Forms, and more. These tools come in three forms:

At the most basic level, all three of these do the same thing. The are tools that help you do something in the Google ecosystem that normally you would not be able to do. They provide extended features, tools, and programs that Google did not build into their products by default (at least not yet).

Even though all three types of tools have that in common, they are still quite different in many other ways. A common question I hear from folks is:

"What's the difference between an extension, a web app, and an add-on?"

To help answer this, I have put together a chart that compares and contrasts these three different types of tools. See the rest of the post below for this information as an infographic and a bulleted list.

Extensions vs Web Apps vs Add-ons Infographic

Extensions vs Web Apps vs Add-ons List

What are they?

How do you install them for yourself?
How can you install them for your users?

Where do they go when installed?

What devices can they be installed on?

How do you run them?

Where can they be used when run?

Can they be disabled?

How can they be removed?

Do they use device resources?
Can you use them on multiple devices?

What are some examples?

Extensions - SpeakIt!, Screencastify, Read&Write for Google

Web Apps - Geogebra, Lucidpress, WeVideo

Add-ons - g(math), autoCrat, formLimiter

160+ Chrome Apps and Extensions for Teachers and Students

I have put together a Google Chrome App and Extension Database for Teachers hat is loaded with apps and extensions for productivity and classroom integration. In this post, you will find 160+ Chrome Apps and Extensions for Teachers and Students! This database is searchable and filterable by category, subject area, and grade level!

If you have followed this blog for any length of time, you probably know that I love the Google Chrome web browser! Google Chrome is the learning environment for all things Google and allows you to customize your browser to fit your needs. Better yet, Google Chrome can be customized to fit the needs of our student learners.

The magic of that customization comes from the Chrome Apps and Chrome Extensions available in the Chrome Web Store.

I encourage you to explore the Chrome Web Store periodically for new apps and extensions to bring to your classroom. On the left-hand side, you will find categories, including a category for education.

Check out some of my previous Chrome posts:

What are Chrome Apps?

Apps are often enhanced shortcuts that optimize the website or app within the browser. Some require additional installation and set-up. Chrome must be running to access these applications. Below are a few of my favorite Google Chrome Apps.

What are Chrome Extensions?

Extensions are installed in the browser and give you added features and abilities to customize your browser.

Warning! Running too many extensions at once can slow your computer down. This list is a great place to start, but pick and choose what ones you need or want to try. And be sure to grab the Extensity extension so you can turn extensions off when you do not need them.

The Chrome Apps & Extensions Database

For a while, I have kept a list of my favorite apps and favorite extensions on this site, but my list just keeps growing! It has grown so much that a list just doesn't cut it anymore. I needed to find a way to help teachers find the best Chrome apps and extensions to fit the needs of their students, classrooms, and their own productivity. Thus, the Chrome Apps and Extensions Database was born.

The database includes 160 Apps and Extensions and is searchable and filterable. I do not recommend every app and extension for every teacher. Rather, use this as a guide to find what works for you, your classroom and your students. There is something in here for everyone.

BTW, Did you know that Shake Up Learning has it's very own Chrome extension? Get it here and stay up-to-date with all of the Shake Up Learning posts.

Right now, you will find this database is heavy in productivity tools. This is where I need your help. Help me make this database even better by sharing your favorite apps and extensions for your grade levels and subject areas. Please share with me and I will continue to add to this database so that it is loaded with resources for all educators. CLICK HERE to submit your favorite Chrome Apps & Extensions.

Please note that the database below was created with Awesome Tables. If it isn't loading, it could be your school filter causing the issue.
