Insert Learning

Insert Learning is a Chrome extension that lets you turn any webpage into an interactive lesson.  Think about blog sites like Quora, Tween Tribune or Medium where you can take a post and highlight key points, quotes or phrases; or make comments, ask questions, or even start a discussion if you’d like.  Check out my sample below or better yet, go to the demo page and test it out for yourself.  I think you’ll find this tool to be a ‘must have’ with your Chrome web browser.  This extension can be shared and assigned to classes in google classroom.  Amazing find!  Got to have it!Insert Learning
