The arrival of Chromebooks this school year has opened up the door to many possibilities for students. While the Chromebooks themselves are great, they could always use some improvements. That’s where these extensions come in. Created to enhance writing and motivation, as well as keep you at the top of your scholastic game, they give you features not included in the basic Chromebook. All of these extensions are free, so you don’t have to worry about dishing out money to enhance your Chromebook experience!

1. Grammarly. There’s a reason this grammar and spelling checker has an average rating of 4.5 stars and a place in the Editor’s Picks section for extensions on the Chrome webstore. It detects when you misspell something and when you’ve used a correctly-spelled word in the wrong context, as well as many grammar errors. If you want to go beyond the basic free version, Grammarly also offers a premium version that will check for other types of errors, as well as deliver suggestions for style, citations and vocabulary choices.
