My Favorite Google Chrome Extensions for School Leaders

At this year’s Fall CUE Conference I will be presenting on how administrators can use G Suite to increase their productivity and communication. Today I wanted to share some of my favorite extensions that I share during my session.

Screencastify

My favorite screencasting tool because all of the recording and uploading is done within the Chrome Browser. Very helpful for creating quick tutorials for staff.

Tab Scissors

Quickly split your tabs into two windows. Super helpful for quickly organizing your screen.

Tab Glue

If you have Tab Scissors installed you will want Tab Glue. Tab Glue quickly brings all of your tabs into one Chrome window.

Instapaper

Quickly send websites to your Instapaper account so you can read them later. Helpful for building a repository of resources.

Wakelet

Quickly send websites to your Wakelet account. With the extension you can organize your resources into collections that you can send out to staff.

Forest

Allows you to block distracting websites for a set period of time. Super helpful for maintaining focus.

Session Manager

Session Manager allows you to create groups of tabs that can quickly be opened by clicking on the session name. This is a great extension for leading professional development because it saves you time with opening up all of the windows you need.

Full Page Screen Capture

Take a screen shot of an entire webpage with one click. You can also use this extension for quickly making PDF copies of a webpage.

Quick QR Code Generator

Quickly create a QR Code for a website with one click. Super helpful for creating shortcuts for important websites.
