Screen Shots

A "Screen Shot" is simply a way to capture all or part of what your device is displaying. For example, below is a screen shot of me editing this very web page:

Screen shots or screen capturing is a useful way to share whatever it is you are doing on your device. Some examples of when screen shots are useful:

  • To document "how to" do a specific task on a computer or device

  • Having students capture piece of a web page to share with your or their peers

  • Having students capture their score on an online quiz or survey (rather than printing a hard copy)

Because each device will have its own way of capturing, I will break down screen capturing by device. See the links below this one to explore different methods of screen capturing.
