What Did We Do Today!
Teachers, Students and Parents finally in sync.
Shortened URL's
Bitly - https://bitly.com/ - no CAPTHCA (Completely Automated Public Test to tell Humans and Computers Apart)
Tiny URL - http://tinyurl.com/ - can make custom tinyurl, has preview feature
Google URL Shortener http://goo.gl
Hint: You can turn in shortened URL into a QR (Quick Response Code) in any browser. To do this copy and paste the shortened url you created in to your web browser and add a .qr on to the end and press enter. You now have a QR Code. (This works great with bitly and goo.gl)
http://goo.gl/SGkZw.qr (Example: add on .qr and press enter)
QR Codes
My favorite QR Reader App is "I-nigma barcode reader" (iphone App)
* http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
* Bulk QR Code Creator
* http://qrvoice.net/ - 100 words of text into speech
