Day 6: Crafty Text

WEBSITE  CraftyText
AUDIENCE ↬ teachers


WHY I USE THIS EXTENSION  CraftyText is not an extension I use on a daily basis, but rather on occasion to display a short message to an audience.


HOW I USE THIS EXTENSION  staying on whatever site I need to be, click the extension and type the message/phrase/text and then enter. The text will display as an overlay on my screen. It will remain there until I click on the extension again.



  • IN A PRESENTATION: if I were to have a shortened URL (hello, Day 3: bitly?) to display so my audience can access information or my presentation
  • WITH STUDENTS: I might use CraftyText for a couple of reasons ... to join a Google Classroom, to provide a code, or to share a quick message.

I hope I've convinced you to give the CraftyText extension a try! If this extension is exciting you, be sure to check out the others on my blog, "7 Days of Extensions You Can Do".

  1. Hi, this is Chris Craft (Crafty) and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the shoutout about CraftyText. It was my very first Chrome Extension and I'm thrilled that so many teachers are still finding it beneficial. :)

  3. Hello Sarah.

    Would you be able to answer some questions to my colleagues? In the college where I work we want to start using this tools and would be great if you could give as a short explanation via Skype or Zoom maybe?

    Thank you!
