Asking students to all go to the same website address can be a little annoying.  Ok, if the website address is like Google Tone LogoCNN.com, no problem, but if it something really long, then forget it!  You end up having to email the address to them or sending via Facebook Messenger or something. Google Tone, takes care of that problem!    A simple Chrome extension, Google Tone lets you you click one button on your browser that sends out a musical tone for all the other Chrome browsers to hear. Students then get a message asking them to confirm they want to go to that website.   They click on it and away they go!  Simple.
