Elementary Students & Extensions

I have blocked a lot of extensions on elementary school Chromebooks after a rash of hijacked extension bars at the elementary level. If you have an extension that you want your students to use please put in a helpdesk ticket, and we'll add it to each student's Chromebook via the Google Management Console. It is possible that students in your classes will see error messages warning them of removed extensions due to permissions issues. Please contact the Helpdesk if you have any issues or need an extension installed for your students. On another note I have added the "Share to Classroom" extension for all staff Chromebooks. I would like to get input from teachers and students regarding extensions and apps that all students should have on their Chromebooks. We may move to a more restrictive process due to the increased complaints of students and teachers that their browser is hijacked by an overload of poor behaving extensions.
