How to add Apps, Games, Extensions, and Themes in Google Chrome.

If you have not checked out the Google Chrome Web Store - you should. It has a lot of amazing features. Over the next week I will be highlighting some for you. In today's post I will be showing you just how to access the Chrome Web Store.

You can access the Google Chrome Web Store by clicking here or by clicking on the Google Apps shortcut (if you have it available on your screen).

If you do not have the shortcut -watch the GIF below - right click underneath your url box (Omnibox as Google calls it) and check Show Apps Shortcut.

In case it was difficult to see in the upper-right hand corner of my screen is the shortcut and it looks like this.

To add an App or Extension simply click on the Web Store and you will see a list of Apps, Games, Extensions, and Themes. See picture below.

Watch the below to see the steps to see how easy it is to get to the store. You will see some of the Apps that I have installed a few seconds in.

See you tomorrow with an extension that will "turn off the lights" when watching a video on YouTube.

Thanks for watching!

Curious about a TV show, App, game, or movie and if it is appropriate? Try www.commonsensemedia.org

Hello everyone,

I think many of us have been asked by our kids or students if they can watch a certain TV show or movie. Many times, at least in my experience is, "Ummmm.... let me think about that." Then we Google it to see what they are talking about. Many times a search on Google would come up with either an IMDB page or a Wikipedia page and now we know more, but still may have some questions.

If you give Commonsensemedia a try it will immediately let you know the age appropriateness. If you then select the title it will further break down the show into What parents need to know, User reviews, What's the Story, Is it any good, and What Families can Talk About. An example of the "BFG" is below.

I have just started to use this site personally and really like the fact that they have an app available (free). Click here for the App Store and click here for Google Play.

Hope you enjoy!
