The PicMonkey Extension is one of those extensions you didn't know you needed until you use it. The PicMonkey Extension allows you to take any image from a webpage and edit it using PicMonkey.com. When you click the extension, it shows you all the pictures available, then when you select one, it automatically opens in PicMonkey.com. After editing you can save it to your local computer or upload it to Dropbox. This can be handy to create information, images, tutorials, picture labels, classroom posters, and so much more! You could also challenge students to find images that fit a particular question, book, theme, or mathematical equation and then explain how it fits within the picture.
