What do I need? • You do not need the latest & greatest computer! • The good thing is that you most likely already have it.

Using what we have on our computer Two of the most common things we want to do, is to; • Do screen grabs to show examples. • And to create screen recordings. • A screen cast (or recording) is where the computer records everything on the screen, including mouse motion and clicks.

Using what we have on our computer • Both Mac & PC have tools built in to do screen grabs. • Only the Mac has a built in screen recorder. • For the PC you’ll need to download additional software.

Using what we have on the Mac Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Takes a screenshot of an area you define and saves it as a .png file on the desktop.
