Which ones have I chosen?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150912092803\/https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/clearly\/iooicodkiihhpojmmeghjclgihfjdjhj?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clearly<\/a> clears away distractions in your browser, helping everyone with the attention span of a ferret stay focused; it grabs your text and sets it up as black text on a clean white background. No ads, no links. No frills, no distractions. But it also provides a tool for highlighting text portions and a way to save directly to your <a href=\"http:\/\/evernote.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Evernote<\/a> portfolio. Slick!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/save-to-google-drive\/gmbmikajjgmnabiglmofipeabaddhgne?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Save To Drive<\/a> does what it says on the box, and lets you save online content directly to your Google Drive. Useful!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20180903034538\/https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/speakit\/pgeolalilifpodheeocdmbhehgnkkbak?hl=en-US\">iSpeak<\/a> converts written text to a melodious audio version. Accessible!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These were easy to find and easy to install, and I can see lots of uses for them both in the classroom and out. Tools that take down barriers between the reader and a text are always welcome in this neck of the woods. And as Chrome is quickly growing in popularity as a choice for 1:1 schools, I&#8217;m definitely on the lookout for more ways to interact with reading on the Chromebook.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which Chrome extensions do you like to read with?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chrome extensions for immersive online reading<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[186,187,188,160,185],"class_list":["post-1570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-clearly","tag-ispeak","tag-save-to-drive","tag-screencasting","tag-snagit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiie.w3.uvm.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiie.w3.uvm.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiie.w3.uvm.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiie.w3.uvm.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiie.w3.uvm.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1570"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/tiie.w3.uvm.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1570\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31281,"href":"https:\/\/tiie.w3.uvm.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1570\/revisions\/31281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiie.w3.uvm.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiie.w3.uvm.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiie.w3.uvm.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
