Webpage Screenshot (Repost)

Reposting: This is one of my favorite Chrome Extensions. It’ll WOW you every time.

Webpage Screenshot is a wonderful Chrome Extension. It allows you to edit information on a webpage. Great for summarizing, finding the topic, defining words in context clues, and so much more.

Once I choose to add the Extension, a Pop-out appears and asks if I want to add the Extension. Since I do, I choose ‘Add’.

I no longer have to go to the library and use the old-school microfiche. Okay, who am I kidding. I never did that. But, if you did you will love this option in Search. Here is a quick video I made showing you how I found a news article from April 1968 regarding Dr. Martin Luther King’s death.

Forwarding on Gmail

If you’re anything like me, you have at least 10 email accounts. Keeping up with all of them can be a struggle. Fortunately, I can forward all my Gmail accounts to my main account — which happens to be a Gmail account too. It’s easy, here’s how:
