How do I do a SCREEN SHOT?
REMEMBER:
You will often be asked to take a screen shot to show your instructor what is on your screen...sometimes the screen shot is even what you are going to be turning in for the lesson -- like you can for your TYPING.COM results. This is one that you have got to know. I use it all of the time. First of all, the PRINT SCREEN option dates way way way back to the old days--all the way back to late 70's and early 80's. Man, that was a long time ago.
Computers didn't have graphics like today, and you didn't use a Graphic User Interface (GUI) like Windows or iOS. That meant no scroll-bars no, view windows--when your data was displayed on the monitor, that was it. Data would fly by on your screen, you could stop and start it with a CTRL key; but once it rolled off the top of your screen, it was gone. So, you would hit the PRINT SCREEN button (SHIFT+PrtScr) and all that data would go to the printer.
Now with GUI it captures a picture of your screen and puts that image on the clipboard. (Chrome Book and MAC) are a little different. Then you can go to a program like PAINT and hit the PASTE command and a PIC of your SCREEN appears. You can crop it, color it, write on it, save it, send it receive it, mail it message it, well...you get it. Here are a couple of videos that demonstrate different ways to complete a PRINT SCREEN as well as on different operating systems.
