Bit.ly is an online tool which makes web addresses shorter and easier to share. This solves one of the main frustrations of using ICT in a primary classroom. It stops children having to type in long addresses, and really helps keep up the pace of lessons. I have also found it useful to create short, memorable links to websites that I discover during lesson planning.
How to use Bit.ly
It is really simple to use. Go to
http://bit.ly then paste in the address you want to shorten. Press 'shorten'. This will create a short address with random letters and numbers after bit.ly.
Create custom addresses
To create a more memorable address, type some key words into the 'custom name' box.
