Tiny URL is useful for teachers and students. I've had several experiences where a teacher shared a linked on a white board or power point. The students copied the link and went home to type up a link that didn't work. It could have been due to a missed or incorrect letter. Tiny URL would eliminate this problem. Tiny URL is helpful with successfully sharing important websites with long URLs.
Looking forward to your tinyurl presentation.
