How to take screenshots:

Screenshots on an iPad:

2. You’ll see the screen flash white and you’ll hear the camera shutter sound.

3. The screenshot will save to your camera roll.

Screenshots on a Mac:

1. Press Command-Shift-4 to change your cursor to a crosshair.

2. Select the area of a screen you want to capture by click/dragging the cursor.

3. Let go and the screenshot will save on your desktop.

Screenshots on a PC:

It depends on the year and model of your PC. You might take a screenshot with the Print Screen (or PrtSc) button in the upper right of your keyboard. This will copy your screen to the Windows clipboard. Then you should be able to paste it into your portfolio (ctrl V). If this doesn't work, you will need to do some searching online for how to screenshot on your computer. You could also use your iPad to take a picture of your work on a PC computer screen.
