TechSmith Snagit allows you to take a screenshot that will automatically save to your Google Drive.  Some of the wonderful features of Snagit are that you can select the area of the screen to save, name the screenshot, and you can markup your screenshot with arrows, rectangles, circles, or text before you save it.

When you download the TechSmith Snagit App, it will create a TechSmith folder in your Drive where any screenshots you make using Snagit will automatically be saved.  Also download the extension, as it works with the app to allow you to quickly select the area of the screen to save and will open the app for you to edit the screenshot (or not).

Because I have seen so many students have trouble with saving things to their Drives on the Chromebooks, this is a nice and easy option for them!

To get the app and the extension, go to the Google Chrome Store: TechSmith Snagit

Booktrack allows your classes to publish online while also adding a soundtrack to their publications.  Sign up as a teacher and create a class, and enroll your students.  There are many publications already there, including Romeo and Juliet and other classroom readings, but students can also publish their own writings to the classroom. 

Booktrack has a series of ambient sounds that students can select to go along with their writing.  They can also change the soundtracks as the mood or tone of their publications change. Students are also free to record themselves reading their essays, which is very helpful in the editing process or to provide accessibility to students who may need text to speech.  It can also be helpful to students studying world languages.

Using booktrack is pretty easy, and students can create or upload covers for their writing as well.  It can add a new dimension to projects in any subject area.

You can access Booktrack directly online, or get the app from the Chrome Web Store here: Booktrack App
