Tiny cc / Bitly

For this assignment, I chose to use the "tiny" URL Shortening Service to shorten a URL for my photo page on Snapfish.com. The process of using the URL Shortening Service was just copying the very long URL and pasting it into the "tiny" URL creator box. The URL creator worked it's magic and came up with a much shorter version of my initial URL address. This type of tool is great for sending links to friends and family, without them being a mile long!

The original URL: http://www.snapfish.com/snapfish/shareereg/p=396191303268466288/l=8454368016/g=141618081/cobrandOid=1000/pns/snapfish/share/p=396191303268466288/l=8454368016/g=141618081/cobrandOid=1000

The "tiny" URL: http://tiny.cc/pkqtx

This assignment closely relates to the ISTE.NETS Standards for teachers, #5 Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership; this assignment allows teachers to demonstrate the effective use of digital tools and resources.
