How-To: Personalised URL Shortener

If you use a lot of tech to collaborate with your students, you probably share with them a lot of links. Nothing is more unsightly than a link that is 2 lines long and is composed of numbers, letters and characters that don't mean a thing. Here's an awesome site that lets you not only shorten your link but personalise as well to make links more relatable/relevant to your students. Let's get started...

Go to gg.gg and here's where your browser will take you to.

Paste the link you wish to shorten here and click on Customise Link.

Personalise the link, using a name your students will be able to identify quickly.  If you share a lot of websites for research, you can name them site1, site2...or for shared docs, you can name them docplants, docanimals, docrainforest etc.  Then click on Shorten URL.

Voila...here's your personalised link!  Just click on Copy Shortened Link and you are ready to paste and share this with your students.
