HOTSpot - Mandie - URL Linking


This election year I have shared out many articles for the kids to read. Of course, I hope that their excitement for Government will be enough to keep them accountable but that isn't always the case. I've been looking for other ways to track if they are actually reading what I'm sending and recently was reminded of Google URL Shortener. Google URL Shortener gives you the ability to not only shorten any URL quickly and conveniently, it also allows you to view analytics to see if people are really clicking on the link. The other great thing about Google URL Shortener is the ability to share the short URL through QR Code or simply copying and pasting either in Google Classroom, Twitter, email, or on a Google site. No more need to search for the URL in an email or document because your account is synced with the Google URL Shortener, so you can revisit at any time! Happy shortening!
