For credit, every file document should be named in the following manner:
lastname_firstname_period_project.extension (.docx, .jpg, .gif etc.)
Example: villlanueva_anna_per1_imageweek.docx
NOTE: underscores must be used between words in the file name.
Every file must have a UNIQUE name. When you get to the part of the file name where the project name should go and are unsure about what to name a file, look to the assignment title, and what the image looks like, or what it is about and name it that.

The key to taking screenshots is the "Show all your open windows" button, which looks like a box with two lines to the right side of it. It'll be in the top row of your keyboard, and may also be labeled as F5.
Here's how to use that button to take screenshots in two ways.
To take a screenshot of the entire screen: Press the Ctrl key and the "Show all open windows" button at the same time.
To take a screenshot of a part of the screen: Press the Shift and Ctrl keys, as well as the "Show all open windows" button, then use your cursor to click and drag a box around the area you want to screenshot.
