I love Google #7

I love Google! After looking through all the Google posts that were shared to my various subscriptions during this week and last week, these are the ten that have caught my eye so far. 

1. 3 Good Chrome Extensions to Convert Web Pages to PDFs .http://goo.gl/I3GDt9 You could use these extensions to convert long articles ( for instance articles from Scientific magazines) into PDFs which I would usually download into my computer. In this way I have a PDF format of the article which I can access and read without the need for Internet connection.


2. Getting Googley with Infographics

5. 6 new free Google tools to upgrade your classroom by Matt Miller

http://goo.gl/G2rKeD I always love Matt Miller from Dich That textbook’s posts. In this post he talks about six sites which will help upgrade what you do in class if you and your students utilize Google Apps frequently. Not all are technically products of Google, but they all improve work done on Google apps.
