Think all web browsers are the same? Think again! It’s true that you’ll get a similar browsing experience from just about every browser. However, you can now customise your experience by using various extensions.

One of the best browsers for this is Google Chrome. Not only does the browser help you quickly use the world’s best search engine, but the extensions can make life easier for students and teachers alike.

Interested in checking out these extensions and do not know where to start? Keep reading to learn all about the best extensions for teachers and students.

This first app is one of our favorites for home use. However, it’s also great for teaching as well!

Adblock for Youtube extension has a simple purpose: to keep you from seeing ads when you’re using Youtube. And this has some great applications for students and teachers alike.

For students, it’s reassuring that they can browse for the info they need without an annoying ads popping up. This is especially true because some of the ads might be too loud or inappropriate for an academic setting.

And this is perfect for teachers who like to show videos to their classrooms. With this extension, you can display educational content without feeling like you also have to show your students commercials.

On paper, the tabs feature of Google Chrome is pretty useful. Those of us who grew uploading one page at a time are typically impressed by the ability to have dozens of tabs open to various websites.

However, this is less useful for our students. The tabs often seem like a disorganized mess. Furthermore, it’s tough to navigate the tabs without accidentally clicking on something or closing out of something.

The Split Tabs extension allows students to check out multiple tabs at the same time. It sounds like a small thing, but it adds up: Your students will be able to view and navigate information online faster than they ever have before. And this translates to extra productivity!

We were hesitant to check it out at first, but we eventually had to admit that Google Drive is fantastic. All of a student’s research and media can be saved to their own digital “cloud.” It’s perfect for students on the go because they can log into many devices and seamlessly continue working on the same projects.

However, one drawback of Google Drive is the time it takes to upload things like images and other multimedia. That’s where the Save to Google Drive extension shines.

In short, the extension lets students save things they discover (from cool images to useful research) instantly into their Google Drive account. It’s already a useful feature on its own, and it becomes more valuable when students use multiple Google features Such as Google Docs to write their essays.

It was tough for many teachers to accept the popularity of online video. However, that is permanently cat out of the bag. Video is now the preferred format not only for entertainment but student student learning as well.

However, the biggest downside of video is that it is ephemeral. Sure, students can log in to watch something again. But it’s tough to watch the video if it ever goes down or if the student loses their link. Or even (heavens forbid) they have no internet access at the time.

With the Nimbus Screenshot and Screen Video Recorder extension, students can effortlessly record videos and images. This information can then be organized and annotated, making it easier than ever to use multimedia to learn. Students can also narrate their videos within the app-perfect for creating student presentations.

Sometimes, technology gives us a brand new way of doing something. Other times, though, technology directly takes an old technique and makes it even easier. That’s the case with Flashcard for Google Dictionary.

This extension works with another extension, Google Dictionary. With Google Dictionary, students can instantly check out the meaning of an unfamiliar word. And with the Flashcard extension, they can create virtual cards to help them memorize these words.

Sure, by studying flashcards may seem “old school.” But it’s an effective way to learn, and this extension makes it easier than ever!

A good educator has to meet students where they are. For modern students, that means meeting them in the digital space. By sharing these extensions with students, you give them powerful tools to use the Internet as you always hoped they would-to learn more each day about the world around them!
