Screen capture (still and video)
Still Image Snip:
Windows 10 has a built-in tool that allows you to capture an image of an area of the screen. It is called "Snipping Tool" which you can find under the Start menu.
Select Start , type snipping tool, and then select it in the search results.
The Snipping Tool has some good features including:
- You can take a rectangular-shaped snip of your screen or portion thereof or you can capture free-form
- You can set a time delay (up to 5 seconds) to snip capture items such as pop-up menus that disappear from view
- You can print the screen snip directly or save it to a JPEG file or e-mail it.
The Windows 10 Snipping Tool will be replaced with "Snip & Sketch" which allows you to capture a screen image, but then adds some tools including highlighter and marker.
Video Screen Capture:
If you want to record the mouse movements and screens (e.g. Powerpoint slides) on your computer there are tools that allow you to capture and create a video of your screen. These tools also allow you to include sound (music or your voice-over) and some also allow for a small window with you as a presenter.
One of the suggested tools for this is Loom
Here is a video of Loom at work made by Hawken Faculty: https://www.loom.com/share/2e54d0f284374379a2844ffb7a82b14b
