Embedded Files
We want to reduce the number of extensions that are force installed on user accounts, to reduce the impact on devices. This new site has been set up as a collection of the best extensions for teachers to use. Check out the 'Editor's Picks' for some real goodies!
NOTE: some extensions not shown here are 'rogue' 3rd party extensions that can interfere with Google Meet etc. If you're not sure about an extension, check out the reviews and ratings in the Chrome webstore, or ask Andy Buck for advice
