Google Classroom

This is a great way to keep track of your student's assignments and grades. It provides an easy way to communicate with parents about their child's progress at school. It is also cloud-based, meaning tasks aren’t lost and all you have to have is an internet connection to open or access the documents. And to keep things convenient, it has a mobile app you can download to stay updated with notifications.

Kami

This extension allows you to annotate PDFs with ease using the stylus on your Chromebook or tablet device (such as a Wacom). You can also edit text directly within documents without having access to Microsoft Word on your computer!

Mote

This extension lets you create voice memos that can then be sent via email or shared on social media sites like Facebook Twitter LinkedIn etc. It's great if you want someone else to hear what you're saying without having them physically present in front of you!

EquateIO

EquateIO is an easy-to-use Chrome extension that allows you to input math expressions into Google Docs by typing and writing, or by using voice dictation.

The extension has a collection of over 100 different cursors that are distributed by category and by style. Some categories include Minecraft, Lightsaber, Pizza, Animals, Food, and many more!

There are general collections like Starters, Holidays, Color, Life Style, Sport, and Food. And there are also more specific collections like Job, Space, and Transportation. To make things even better, this extension is customizable so you can change the color of your cursor as well!
