The web browser from Google, Chrome is getting used by many schools and I believe that in the coming years more schools will buy Chromebooks, which will increase the use of Chrome as the web browser in schools. There is a web store where you can download extensions for Chrome. In part 28 of ICT in schools I´ll give you some advice on what extensions to download.
Go to Chrome web store and use the search bar in the upper left corner to find the extensions you´re interested in downloading.
