Print Screen

Description:  "Print screen is a keyboard function that takes a quick 'snapshot' of your computer screen, copying it to the clipboard. By pressing the print screen key, then opening a paint or image program, the screenshot can be pasted into the program as an image file. From there, it can be saved or printed. If you don’t need a snapshot of the entire screen, but only want an image of the active window, hold down the alt key while pressing the print screen key. This is a great way to save menu screenshots for instructional Web pages, making it easier for people to follow along when configuring software, for example." (From http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-print-screen.htm

Material Covered:  How to use the Print screen key.


What I learned:  How to take a picture of the computer screen and then edit it for use.

Here is an example of a Print screen that I have edited.



Best Features:  Being able to take snapshots of the computer screen is the best and only feature of the Print screen key.  Just learning how to use the Print screen was worth the price of the course. 

Problems/Limitations: The only problem is that Print screen seems to be a well hidden secret. 

What I would still like to learn:  Nothing more to learn as it is simple and easy to use.
