Screenshots; Draw tools in Word

Screenshots -  this is the taking of a picture of what you have on your screen.  With the Mac computers we have here in the room, you can either take a screenshot (or what is sometimes also called a screen capture) of the entire screen (Command/Shift/3) or of what you select (Command/Shift/4).  After taking the screenshot, the image is saved to your desktop as "Screen shot 12-4-12 3.44.25 PM" (where the date and time are the actual time that it is taken), usually with a .jpg extension (one of the vocab words for next week).

On a PC it is a little different.  Most PC computers have a program that you have to open first before you can take a screen shot.  For example, on my laptop PC I have a program called "Snipping Tool" that I need to open first before I can take a screen shot.

After taking the screen shot you can then add annotations to your image.  This is a nice way to be able to edit so that if you are using your image as an instructional piece you can add arrows, text boxes, and so on to help you get your point across.
