This was not at what I was expecting this article to be about. But, it did prove to be interesting. It introduced several chrome extensions designed to help the user stay on task. These would be great tools for my students who tend to wander when working on asynchronous days. The question now is, how do I introduce them?

Three Chrome Extensions That Help Students Stay on Task - by @rmbyrne

Nelda Reyes's curator insight, January 27, 2019 12:18 AM
Three Chrome Extensions That Help Students Stay on Task, is an article that, through a video, explains how chrome extensions can help you stay more on task.  This is done first staying focused by limiting yourself to the number of websites viewed by blocking particular unnecessary sites, next Recall study time is where you are able to block or limit the time you spend on social media like twitter, snap chat, or facebook by blocking yourself off then sites.  If you try to log on before the allotted time it will block you and remind you to get back on task or to work.  Lastly, the extension is Flash Tabs, here you are able to create short questions with responses which are very useful for students whom are studying for a test or a quiz and this will allow them to prepare better.
