Tech Tip Thursday

Do you have a long link or a link with many characters after the .com? Do you have to write a link on the board or share a non-hyperlinked site?

That problem can be easily solved by using goo.gl. 

Now you can share a short link that is easier to copy. The only downfall about using goo.gl is that the sharing link is case sensitive. Any capital letters need to be typed in as a capital letter or else it will not work. 

To create a shortened link: 

1. Go to goo.gl

2. Type the original URL in the space provided. 

3. Click on the box that confirms that you are not a robot. 

4. Click on shorten URL. 

5. Copy the shorten URL. (It is case sensitive)
