Thank goodness it’s Friday, to help brighten up your day and to help you with your planning at weekends, I will be posting a weekly web based idea that will take just 1 minute of your time to read about. If you like what you read then why not try it out in your lessons next week!
(Actually this could probably be called a 1 second wonder as it really is that simple)
Tiny URL – http://tinyurl.com/
This is a free website where you can take long and complicated URL’s and convert them into simple, short and convenient addresses that can easily be written and copied from the board just by copying the URL in and pressing a button. I showed a class this week how to use it and they had never seen it before, I was uploading some of our class notes to my Sky drive and then converted the very long URL to just a few characters.
In the famous words of Gary Barlow ‘it only takes a minute…’
Happy Tiny-URL-ing 🙂
