Shortened URLs
Oftentimes, links to pages on websites can be impossibly long. If students need quick access to a website, it can be hard for them to write down or remember a long URL with many words, periods, backslashes, and numbers correctly--not to mention the time it takes to type these addresses into a search bar. To eliminate this problem, teachers can use website shortening services, like TinyURL, Goo.gl, or Bitly, to make long website addresses easier for students to remember and use.
