Today, we will take a tour of some of the amazing Web-based apps available in the Chrome Web Store for Chromebooks, the Chrome Browser, or really any other web browser out there, as long as you are not stuck on IE 8 or lower. 😉 We will take a look at:
- WeVideo – Video editing at no cost for any skill level right in the browser
- Pixlr – An amazing almost-clone of Photoshop. It’s free too!
- Lucidpress – A better alternative to Google Docs for word processing and page layout
- Lucidcharts – Mind-mapping, process workflow, and any other chart or diagram you need to produce
- The Education App Collection, as well as the collections for Elementary, Middle School & High School
We also ended up giving you an introduction to the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS). For more detail on the different functions of Canvas, take a look at the Canvas Video Guides.
