Nowadays, things have changed significantly. Cramming for an exam used to be quite a feat, given the technological obstacles and lack of study resources. If you are using Chromebooks, you may also be interested in our Quick Guide to Chromebook Accessibility Features poster.Getting up, packing your books, and taking the quickest route to the library - this was our reality in a not-so-distant past. Mike has extensive experience of using ChromeBooks with learners in the USA and made many useful suggestions with regard to content. We are very grateful for the help of Mike Marotta in producing this poster. There are many other apps that could have been included and we will review the contents of the poster at regular intervals to decide whether to add new Apps and Extensions, or to remove others. The Apps and Extensions included in the 'wheel' are not intended to form a definitive list of the 'best' options, but to give people an idea of what might be worth considering. We have also used broader categories than in our other app wheels. Read&Write we have tried to place them into the most appropriate category, but we recognise that they could easily be placed in more than one category. In the case of some of the multi-function extensions and apps, e.g. ORGANISATION - Note Board, New Tab Todo ListĪs with the app wheels, we have attempted to categorise the apps, but this has not always been easy.WRITING SUPPORT - Docs Plus, Draftback, LipSurf, Wordbank Universal, Kaizena Web App. ![]() ![]() WORKING WITH PDFS - Texthelp PDF Reader.READING THE WEB - Use Immersive Reader, Open Dyslexic Font, Just Read, Page Eraser, Dark Reader.READING EBOOKS - eBook Viewer and Converter.READING SUPPORT - Capti Voice, Claro Cloud, Save to Pocket.The change of format allowed us to add more icons, so the following apps / extensions have been added: We felt it was still important to differentiate between Apps and Extensions so we have decided to use blue text to represent Apps and green text for Extensions. In the period since then, we came to feel that the 'wall' wasn't really getting information across in the way that we had hoped, so for this update, we have decided to return to our usual 'wheel' format. In view of the availability of both Apps and Extensions as tools to add functionality to Chromebooks we felt that our usual 'wheel' format would not work, so we decided to adopt the style of a 'wall' with Apps represented by red bricks and Extensions by yellow bricks.
