"My theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff."

Many would argue that a major advantage with Chrome is the ability to add browser-based apps and extensions for a variety of purposes. The Chromebook Classroom site has great resources on apps and extensions and I encourage you to check it out. If you'd like a tool to help you easily make screen casts or screen captures, I highly recommend Snagit. If you'd like a tool for having text read to you, Speakit may be for you. If you'd like a digital way to manage to-do lists complete with sharing, attaching files, and prioritizing, I recommend Symphonical.
I could go on, but at this point it's probably best to let you take the reins. Visit the above-named site, download Google Chrome and go exploring. Please let me know if you'd like any further assistance and let us all know what apps/extensions you're using or of any useful apps/extensions you find.
