WingnetToolbar: A Convenient Tool for Sharing Web URLs
WingnetToolbar is a free Chrome add-on developed by Wingnet in the Browsers category, specifically in the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This extension allows users to easily share the URL of the current web page they are viewing with an external application.
By selecting WingnetToolbar after installation, the extension retrieves the URL of the currently open web page and passes it to the designated external application. This external application, named Wingnet, is an educational support tool that notifies other devices of the retrieved URL and launches the default browser of those devices with the URL.
WingnetToolbar proves to be a useful tool for educational purposes. For example, during a class, teachers can display a web page on their browser and have students view the same page on their devices. Teachers can then provide instructions and explanations related to the displayed web page, while students engage in self-learning by browsing the displayed page, accessing linked content, and conducting searches.
By using WingnetToolbar, the process of notifying students of the URL from the teacher's device is simplified and streamlined, saving valuable time and effort. This convenience allows for smoother class progression and facilitates efficient teaching.
