Tech Tip Tuesday: Reminder on Taking a Screenshot

Tech Tip Thursday: Reminder on Taking a Screenshot


As we start our new school year, we wanted to remind you how to take a screenshot on your laptop and Chromebook. We thought this might be helpful for those who forgot or those who just needed a reminder. Then we wanted to show you an "added bonus" reminder. There are several different ways, but these are our favorite!

What do you need to know this for?
Do you have a PDF that you want to show students? Screenshot it!
Do you have a website you want to show students? Screenshot it!
Do you not need the whole document? Screenshot it!

Use your SNIPPING TOOL!
1. Go to the Windows button in the bottom left of the screen. 
2. Start typing snipping tool.
3. Click on snipping tool to open it.
4. Any time you need to snip something, you can click new to turn your cursor into a snipping tool.
