How to Make a Long web Address (URL) Short

Do you have a website or a list of websites you want your students to visit?

Ideally, they might be posted on your website or printed as QR codes for students to simply click or scan for access.  Definitely BOOK ME if you are interested in these options.

In the event that students must type the URL into the browser, here is a VERY QUICK tip to get the URL as short as possible:

1. From the website you want to share with students, locate the web address (URL) and click on it once to highlight the whole thing.
   
   
   

2.  Hold down the Command key and press C to copy.

3.  Navigate to goo.gl

4.  Click in the "Enter Long URL Here:" window, hold down Control and press V to paste.

5.  Click the Shorten URL button.  That's it!

Extra Bonus:  Clicking on the "Details" Button just under your URL will also give you a QR Code that people can scan to get to your URL.
