How to get the most from your Chromebook, presenter - Suan Yeo

Suan describes himself as an Education Evangelist. He works at Google in the Asia-Pacific region heading the Education business unit. So what he knows about Google is huge!
He spent quite a bit of time going through Chrome extensions which was really beneficial. My takeaway from this session was the Toby Chrome extension.

Details about Toby...
"Bookmarks are for books, not browsers. Organize your browser tabs into Toby so you can access key resources in one-click instead of seven. Toby is better than bookmarks, it levels up your Chrome browser. Toby is a visual workspace that lives on every new tab. Add new tabs by dragging and dropping your browser tabs into collections or save a whole session in just one-click. Access all of your collections on any desktop with automatic sync. Use tags to organize your collections or create notes for your to-dos."

Reflection: after having made 380-odd blogs and using OneTab to collect student blogs together in their classes, I realised the power of Toby in that it is web-based and collections can be accessed in all my profiles. A life-saver!
