I have mostly used Internet Explorer as my browser. I tried to use Foxfire for awhile, but I was so used to Explorer that I switched back. I kept seeing things about 'add-ons', but never really understood what they were. I now know that they are enhancements to the browser and allow for expansions and better functionality to your browser.
I have never had a problem installing add-ons at home. I have add-on from the following companies: Diigo, shockwave flash, Adobe, McAfee, HP, Microsoft, Skype, and Java. They all installed very easily as I stated. On my work computer, we are not allowed to install anything. We have to contact the technologies people and wait for them to show up and install them. There are 2 people responsible for 8 schools and the board offices....not worth waiting for them!!
I think that add-ons connect to all 5 of the ISTE NETS T standards. Add-ons allow for teachers to facilitate student learning by increasing the ability of the browser to function and expand as needed.
