Why a Chromebook? Why not? Online tools for common tasks.

There are millions of web resources you can access on any web-based device, but here are a few suggestions for web apps that you can find in the Google Chrome Web Store or that simply work directly in your browser without the need of an app.  These work in the Chrome browser, on a desktop or laptop, and of course they work on Chromebooks and Chromeboxes.

Finally found (after more than a year) where this started, albeit with just a few entries. Thanks to Kellie Ady et al at the Cherry Creek School District in Denver. I’ve been adding ever since.
