I’m back with some more essential Chrome extensions for students! I found these extensions from techGeec’s video , however some of the extensions were not be applicable for school settings. So I have listed the extensions that are! Stay Focused : Allows students to stay on task by blocking specific websites for a certain period of time (like a timer).  WOT (Web of Trust) : Tells you what sites are safe to go to! Session Manager : Save and close your open tabs to open later (Students can save their school-related tabs as “School Session.” So when they go to school, they can simply click on their “School Session” and immediately their school-related tabs will open.) Clickable Links:  Non-linked listed URLs become links Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroll : Often when you scroll down on a web page, it jumps from section to section. This extension allows your scrolling experience to be smooth. 

To install these extensions, go to the Chrome Web Store , type in the name of the extension and then click on “Add to Chrome.” 1 . AdBlock : Extension that blocks the ad banners you see on the top, bottom, and sides of web pages! AdBlock for Chrome! Block all advertisements on all web pages, even Facebook, Youtube, and Hulu. 2 . Adblock Plus (Beta) : Gets rid of YouTube ads! 3 . Do Not Track Plus : Extension that stops the web, data brokers, ad networks and social networks from collecting data about you.  1. Keep My Opt-Outs : Google has done an amazing job of personalizing ads based on your interests and preferences. However some people don’t want this type of data tracking , so here is the extension for it. Your Google ads are going to change with more repeat ads and ads that you won’t really be interested in.
