Google Chrome: Omnibox, Clea.nr and Apture

More ways to Google-ize your Classroom

Get to know the Omnibox: 

What’s an Omnibox? I have always referred to the bar at the top of a browser where you type in a URL as the “address bar”.  But I was informed that in Google Chrome, that bar is so much more.  It’s the Omnibox.  It can:
  • Search the web and visit addresses
  • Search for apps, bookmarks and browsing history
  • Create bookmarks
  • See security, pop-up and extension alerts

Extension in Chrome that make using internet easier in your classroom:

Browser extensions and websites that declutter Amazon and YouTube.
Apture
Apture is a free tool that let's you take the power of Google search and the richness YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, and Wikipedia with you to any site. Just highlight a phrase on any page to reveal the web’s best content without ever leaving the page.
