Have you ever thought "there has got to be a better way"? Well, try screencasting for class lessons, PD or anything you have to do on a regular basis. Apps like Screencastify (available in Google as an extension) allow you to record your voice as you walk your viewer through your screens. Need a quick tutorial on how to download and use it? Check out this YouTube video.
Do you ever find your images are the wrong size or you just need part of an image, not the whole thing? Well Paint allows you to manipulate images. You can adjust sizes, crop, add text, change colors and more. To find Paint on your Windows computer click on the Windows World (usually on the lower left of your screen), choose all programs and then accessories. Paint is one of your options. Happy editing!
