Editing PDFs



Find a great PDF to use with your students?  But it is just not quite perfect?  Want to make a slight alteration?  DocHub allows you to edit PDFs.  Check out this short video example on some of the cool features!  (Keep in mind if you have permission to alter the original.)

Go to the Chrome Web Store/Extentions.  Search for DocHub.  Select "Add to Chrome".  The extension will appear above your bookmarks on the right.

The new document can then be downloaded or uploaded to your Google Drive, shared or emailed.

URL Shortener


Just a heads up if you use goo.gl URL shortener, Google will be shutting down this service as of April 13th.  If you already have shortened links you will have continued access for one year.  Details can be found here.  Your previous URLs will continue to redirect to the intended destination.

Check out Bitly as an alternative URL shortener.  Both Bitly and tinyurl.com allow you to customize your link - making it much easier for your students or participants to remember.
