      Have you ever tried to send someone a link or post it in a presentation, but the url is so long, it is impossible to type in correctly?  You may have tried URL shorteners such as tinyurl or bit.ly, only to discover that these services are BLOCKED on our network.  This is necessary because this allows students to bypass our filter by using the shortening service to access inappropriate content.  HOWEVER, this service, provided by Lightspeed Systems, our internet filter solution, allows you to shorten urls only for sites that are not blocked by the lightspeed filter, so these links WILL be unblocked on our network.  Enjoy!

    Create your own "twitter wall" to project a back channel for your next PD session or event.   This site makes it easy to follow the conversation on twitter around a hashtag of your choice.   The Video-Twitterwall is also interesting, allowing one to embed a video from Youtube or another video service into your twitterwall

    Online form building tool. It will store/compile your data take payment and much more. Although there is a monthly fee for a subscription, there is an option for a one month free trial that will allow you to build a few forms for free.

    Actually, the free option is not a trial. You can have a free account that will allow up to 3 forms and 3 reports at the same time. There is no monthly cost for the free level account and there is no trial period. This is an example of a "freemium" service that offers a totally free basic service with the opportunity to upgrade to a subscription level premium account with additional features or capacity for a monthly fee.
