Direct Links and Short Links

By -
For quite some time now, we've had fairly simple direct links to our websites. The following is a list for reference. Massac Unit School District #1 - massac.org or unit1.massac.org Massac County High School - mchs.massac.org Massac Junior High School - mjhs.massac.org Metropolis Elementary School - mes.massac.org Brookport Elementary School - brookport.massac.org Jefferson Elementary School - jefferson.massac.org Franklin Elementary School - franklin.massac.org Unity Elementary School - unity.massac.org Metropolis Primary School - primary.massac.org Massac Technology - tech.massac.org Massac Food Service - foodservice.massac.org Massac Forms - forms.massac.org There are some others as well, but I thought it would be helpful to list these here. We also have the ability to create short links for websites using our domain name. An example of this is with InformationNOW.

ClassroomQ

When students need assistance in the classroom, it can be one of the trickier things to manage. A student may need help, but not want to draw attention to themselves by raising a hand or speaking in front of their peers. If you happen to be in a lab setting or using devices in the classroom, this website could be an option to reach more students.

Define in Google Docs

One of the many handy items in Google Docs that I like to use is the "Define" tool. What does it do? By accessing the "Define" feature in Google Docs, it will tell you the type, pronunciation, various forms, definition, and synonyms of the word. In the example below I selected the word "quick". Over on the right, a box opens up and displays all of the information. How do I access it? There are a few ways to access "Define". Once you select your word you are wanting to look up, do one of the following: Right click your word and click Define 'your word' Click Ctrl+Shift+Y Click Tools in the Menu Bar and click Define It can be useful when writing, especially when you want to look up something about your word without leaving your document. Just a little tip to close out 2015. Have a Happy New Year!
