Some of my personal favorites include Snagit, Awesome Screenshot, Diigo, PowToon, Remind, Padlet and Google's URL Shortener. The videos below explain the difference between a web app and extension and I've also curated an extensive list of apps and extensions for you to explore. Extensions are added to the right of the Omnibox. Once you find an app you want to use, and you install it, a shortcut is added to your browser's new tab page. Educators can also read ratings and reviews of each app and/or extension to determine if its applicable for their content area or grade level.
Many of the apps in the Web Store are designed to promote student and teacher creativity, enhance communication and collaboration, and increase productivity, and the beauty of the Web Store is that everything is free! No credit cards or personal information is required and no IT support is needed for installation.
However it's important to note that educators, and their students, may also benefit from exploring the Business Tools, Productivity, and Social & Communication categories. Education categories include academic resources, family, foreign languages, and teacher and administrator tools. Google created its online marketplace, the Chrome Web Store, so that educators can easily search for new web apps and extensions by category.
