Image Capture


For the image capture I chose to capture the blogger dashboard and explain how to manage to use it's components. By using the Paint took, I was able to crop the needed portion of the screen as well as add in arrows and text boxes.

In order to actually capture the image on my laptop, I had to hold the "function" key while I selected the "Print Screen" fuction. From there it was simple to paste the object into the Paint screen. I chose to save the picture as a JPEG image which covered a space of 128 KB.


I know this function will be used quite often in my classroom. As I said in the previous post, I will be teaching business classes which will most likely include Word, Excell, PowerPoint, etc and by copying the screen I will more easily be able to express to the students where something is on the screen or how to perform a particular action.
