How to Create Screen Shots

What are Screen Shots?

  • A screen shot is a picture of something that was displayed on your computer.

Why do instructors use Screen Shots?

  • Show a picture of a diagram or process and add it to Word, PowerPoint or Sakai
  • Provide a roadmap to a part of your course for your students
  • Show your students how to make screen shots, so they can show instead of tell you about a problem

  • In the Image Properties box, click on Browse Server
  • On the bottom, click on the Browse button, find and click on your picture, click Open
    • On the right, click on the Upload button
    • The name of your picture will show up in the middle of the screen, click on the picture name
  • You'll now return to the Image Properties box:
    • In the alternative text box: type in what is important about the image (if your image doesn't display, you'll see the text you typed in)
    • If needed, change the width and/or add a border of 1; Click OK.
  • If you need to change the picture size (if you have scroll bars displaying or it's too small), you can click to the left of the image, on the edit button.
    • Click on the image, then click on the image tool on the tool bar
    • In the Image Properties box, you usually should change only the width; the height should automatically adjust; Click OK.
