At one of our district technology task force meetings, I was asked to make a list of useful extensions. There are many that I haven’t used and many that I have. I am always trying new ones. This post lists some of the extension that I have used over the past couple of years. I have also provided links to “Teacher Thoughts” list and “Technology Guru 77’s” list.
Google Chrome Extensions “are applications that run inside the Chrome browser and provide additional functionality with third party websites, services, and customized browsing experiences.” (Google’s definition)

50 of the best Google Chrome Extensions for Teachers by “Teacher Thought”
Too many extension can slow down your browser so you need to find the ones that work best for you.I try out a lot of different extensions so I use “Extensity” This app allows me to control what apps appear on my toolbar and I can enable or disable any of my loaded apps. If an app is disabled, it still appears in the Extensity list. I just need to click on it to turn it on. I simple click will also turn the app off.
Here are some of my favorites that add to the functionality of Google Chrome and G Suite:
