VideoDropper

This is a great website for those who have a Dropbox account. Now you can pull YouTube videos off the Web and store your favorites in your Dropbox. Go to http://videodropper.ep.io/ and enter the YouTube video address, then begin the download process. Later, you will see the video appear in your Dropbox.

Biodigital Human

There are so many websites and apps available for free on the Web, but some of the most useful can get lost in the shuffle. BioDigital Human (https://www.biodigitalhuman.com/)is a fantastic interactive website that may be used to identify a 3D diagram of every system in the human body. If you have Google Chrome, it may also be downloaded as an app to your web browser. Isn't Chrome great!

3DToad.com

This may be one of the coolest websites that I have stumbled on for quite some time. 3DToad.com has several 360 degree views ranging from disections to guitar chords. To make things even more interesting, they offer 3D toggle view. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like all one needs is a pair of 3D glasses and the images become even more lifelike.

Using Google Chrome and Chrome Apps Yet?

Nearly a year ago Google Chrome, a Web browser, jumped on the App bandwagon by creating the Chrome App Market, which allows users to download and embed Apps within the browser itself. While the main use for these Apps were intended for use with the Chrome Book, they can also be used and synced in Google Chrome on all computers installed with the browser.

In short, Chrome Apps are links to interactive websites (Web 2.0) that can be installed inside Chrome. This allows for easy navigation of specific sites on the web. Not all websites have app links, but that's because these links to many of the best interactive websites (e.g. Planetarium, Periodic Tables, Calculators, Word Games, etc.).

Take a look at these for yourself by installing the free Google Chrome web browser. Feel free to email me at markwhite@willardcityschools.org for more information.
