Tiny cc/Bitly

I decided on the website tiny url for this assignment. I then tried it out by going to amazon and finding a product I wanted to possibly buy or just thought was cool:) I pasted the link to this item into the page and shortened it by clicking on the "Make TinyURL!". See below ( I used the snipping tool!):

The site then creates a unique "tiny" url to use that is much easier to distribute to anyone else who might be interested in purchasing the same item.

This is an extremely useful tool in general but even better when you need to give your students an address to type in order to access a particular site, image, etc. for an assignment. The ISTE standards most closely related to this activity would be III-D since it would help to manage student learning activities.
