Tiny URL - A tip for you

I have used the site Tiny URL before, but I do not believe I have ever shared it with all of you.

It is a GREAT way to take a VERY LONG website address, or URL, and condense it to an address that you can give to your students to take home.

No more http://fhsdjk;fdashre.com/%$#@!?fhdjs;fhdsjak;hfdjska/HJK:hhdj/43253khfjadshj
It ends up being something like this - www.tinyurl.com/#####

It makes the sites much easier to put on handouts that go home, or website lists you will enter in class :-)

Just simply do this;
- Find the page you would like to use
- Copy the website address from the browser address bar
- Go to the Tiny URL website - http://tinyurl.com/
- Paste the long address you copied into the box at the top of the page
- Click the "Make A TinyURL" button
- It will generate an address you can use to get to your original site

VERY COOL, VERY EASY and very useful for anyone that uses websites in their classroom regularly.
