Chrome Apps are applications that will run in the Chrome browser. Apps are different from extension in that extensions are tools that attach to the browser whereas apps are usually websites that will run in Chrome. You access apps the same way you access extensions. Go to the Chrome Web Store and add them. Then you can access them from the "Apps" button on the top left-hand corner of Chrome. Here are some apps you might want to try for yourself and your students (at the bottom is a picture of all my apps)!
