In this assignment, you will learn how to take a screenshot. If you already have a preferred method for taking a screenshot of your computer, that is fine; you can use whatever method you prefer to do the screenshot, provided that the end result is a gif, jpeg or png image file. There are lots of software packages you can use to create screenshots. If you do not already know how to make a screenshot, you can use the instructions I have provided below.
STEP ONE: Take a screenshot that shows your computer desktop (sample). This should be an image file in a standard image file format (png or jpeg or gif). DO NOT SENT A BITMAP (BMP) IMAGE; bitmap images are too large for most email programs.
- Are you using a Mac? To capture the entire screen, press Command-Shift-3 (or, if you prefer, you can use Command-Shift-4 to take a drag a box around a special region of the screen). The image file will be saved to your Desktop.
- Are you using Windows Vista? Here are instructions for using the Vista Snipping Tool that can help you to take a screenshot. If you don't understand how to use the Snipping Tool or if it is not part of your edition of Vista, you can use Jing (free software) to take the screenshot.
- Are you using an older version of Windows? The best bet is to use Jing (free software) to take the screenshot.
STEP TWO: Send me an email with the resulting image file attached to the email. DO NOT SEND A BMP (BITMAP) IMAGE. The image file you attach must be either a jpg, gif or png file. Also, DO NOT SEND A WORD DOCUMENT. You need to send an image file, not a Word document, in order to complete this assignment. Make sure you use this subject line: TechTip Screenshot.
When you have sent in the email, you can do the Gradebook Declaration for Extra Credit. Here is the text of the Gradebook Declaration you will complete:

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
I have completed the Technology Tip assignment and sent the instructor an email as required.
