September 16, 2010
Researching and writing great papers can take a lot of time, but they don’t have to be so daunting. For this next post in the Google Chrome Extensions at School series, we’ll showcase extensions that can help you research and write papers for any class.
If you’re reading various articles online for your next research paper and want to find out more about a particular person (or anything else), Apture Highlights allows you to highlight any word or phrase on a web page and instantly bring up search results in a window. The extension uses over 60 sources like YouTube, Twitter, Wikipedia and Google.
With Diigo Web Highlighter and Bookmark, you can highlight web pages with multiple colors as you read online. You can also add tags and sticky notes on web pages you visit. This is very useful when you want to highlight and save key information in your class notes or assignments and view them later.
After the Deadline helps check your spelling, grammar and style in your Google Chrome browser. By clicking on the ABC icon in the lower-right corner of the editable area, you can proofread anything you write on the web.
