10 Chrome Extensions for Distance Learning

10 Google Chrome Extensions to Use for Distance Learning

Google Chrome extensions are so easy to use and best of all, they’re free! If you don’t use Chrome, I highly recommend downloading it to use as your web browser. You can add extensions with just 2 quick clicks! Here are my favorite 10 Chrome Extensions for Distance Learning!

1. Bitmoji

This is my FAVORITE Chrome extension that I use ALL the time. Here are some of my favorite ways to use it:

  • embed Bitmojis into your class slides and agenda slides (students love this!)
  • quickly add Bitmojis to Bitomji bookmarks, end of the year awards, and class rules posters
  • insert Bitmojis on student work when giving feedback
  • copy and paste Bitmojis directly into your Google Slides or Powerpoint files!
  • Open laptop displaying a morning greeting with a Bitmoji
  • Open laptop displaying classroom weekly agenda

  • Colorful class awards with Bitmojis from the Google Chrome Extension
  • Printed bookmarks with pictures from Google Chrome Bitmojis
2. Emoji Keyboard

Use this extension to add emojis to your announcements, slides, and Google Classroom topics! It’s so easy to use and your students will love it!

3. Share to Classroom

This extension pushes webpages directly to your Google Classroom classes, which enables your students to open them instantly. You can also post announcements, create assignments, and save webpages for future use.

4. Custom Cursor

Custom Cursor transforms your mouse’s cursor to add some fun to your online class meetings or screen recordings.

5. Screencastify

This extension enables you to easily record yourself, computer screen, or both. I also love how you can upload your videos directly to your Google Classroom!

6. Google Keep

Google Keep organizes your notes and to-dos by category. You can add labels to your info and color code it to make it even more streamlined. It’s accessible from your computer, phone, or even your Apple watch! It’s a total game changer!

This allows you to easily take a screenshot of your current page.

8. Giphy

With Giphy, you can quickly copy and paste GIFs and stickers!

9. Kami

The Kami extension enables you to bring your PDFS and other documents to life! You can write, draw, and type on them – all within your browser! You can also use this with Google Drive and Google Classroom!

10. Todoist

Todoist for Chrome keeps me organized by arranging my tasks. I love how easy it is to organize everything. It even allows you to add webpages to your task list!

    Bitmoji- I love this app and have been saving images from the app into my Google Drive and then inserting image from there. But- I love the idea of the extension and added it. My issue is, I don’t want to have to sign in to my personal snapchat and that’s the only option I see when trying to add the extension. Has anyone found a way around this? I’m going to resort to making a new snapchat with my work email if I can’t find any better suggestions. Thanks
