IT with Steve - Google Chrome Extensions

Hello Peeps,

Welcome back, today's  short tutorial highlights +Mandy Arscott 's question about the 'crossy out' words appearing in the top right hand corner of my Chrome browser while doing a Paint.NET tutorial.
Google Extensions are great and these 2 are perhaps the cream of the crop. If you don't know what Google Extensions are then please watch the video. They make surfing the net and watching Youtube a far better experience.

Good luck and please let me and any viewers about any Google Chrome Extensions that you think are addons that everyone should have.

Happy surfing!

See you next time for a look at Teacher Dashboard
