Hello and welcome to episode number fifteen of the one-five. I am your podcast hostess - Tricia Louis - the self-designated tech goddess and I will be coming to you weekly in this audio podcast format with great edtech tools, tips, and tricks.

In this week’s episode, I will be talking about an amazing chrome extension called Page Marker. Installing this chrome extension is something you wish you will have done a long time ago. It allows you to have drawing tools on ANY webpage and yes, that includes google documents. Once the extension is installed (and you will want to pin this one for sure), you can click on it and then a panel of tools opens up. On the tool panel, you can choose from a pen, highlighter, eraser, select, text tool, move, line, download, undo & redo, trash, exit, and the size slider (for pen size). I pretty much just use the pen tool and it is incredible. One cool hack for this extension is that you can open up your google slides and then choose “publish to web” in the file menu. Once you have that link, open it up in a new tab and then you can use the page marker extension to mark up your slides - this is better than just presenting the slides as that goes into a full-screen mode and you can’t access the extension during that full-screen mode.  After you have made your marks on a slide, you will have to clear the ink once you move to a new page in your slide deck, but before you do that, you can download an image of your marked up page. Those images can be then loaded into your LMS for reference by students. You can also combine page marker with loom and make great screen recordings with all the markings! One more thing to know about page marker is that if you are on a regular web page (not like the slide deck I mentioned before), the “ink” that you put on the page is actually sticky and you can scroll the webpage up or down and the ink stays put. Now that is pretty darn cool in my book. 

I encourage you to try the page marker extension and then share with your students as it gives them a great way to do annotations anywhere on chrome!
