5 great Chrome extensions I have just added!

I recentlylogged in to and booked for the Simplek12 Chromebook webinars day and there was a free resource included showing  nine Chrome extensions or add-ins.  I haven't used some of these so I am going to highlight the ones I want to get started with today!

Noisli https://goo.gl/UTaMkH 
Improve your focus and boost your productivity. Block out annoying noises and create the right environment for working or relaxing.Noisli is the best and most beautifully designed productivity companion throughout your day. No matter if you are in an environment where it is too loud or too quiet, with Noisli you can create and listen to your favorite background sounds in order to focus and concentrate on your tasks.

Evernote https://goo.gl/SJp74 
I always thought this was a paid app but I see there isa   free plan...so let me try it. This web clipping tool allows you to clip various web pages as you browse so you can go back to that information at any time, or share with others. You can keep the resources you clip bookmarked and organized with Evernote. Evernote even has a highlighting tool so you can draw attention to a particular part of the clip that you found to be inspirational.

Web of Trust https://goo.gl/zSA7
This sounds good. Maybe the kids should install this at school. Web of Trust is a safe browsing tool that ensures and protects against malware and dangerous links. Various reputation icons located next to the website name tell you the site’s rating and reputation. Best of all, Web of Trust won’t slow down your browser.


Wunderlist https://goo.gl/BnLeYA
I'll try this and compare it to using Google Keep. Wunderlist is a tool that creates organized to-do lists for all those projects. Each project and all the information and communication can be placed in its own special folder. Wunderlist will also send you reminders and set due dates to keep you on top of everything. These lists can also be shared with others for collaborative projects.


Lazarus Form Recovery https://goo.gl/ySTGK2
Have you ever been in the middle of filling out a form when you time out? Or your computer crashes? Re-entering all that information can be time-consuming. Lazarus Form Recovery is an add-on that saves as you type so you don’t have to lose all your information due to an untimely power outage or other type of disaster. Simply click a menu item, and all your information can be reinstated.
