Snipping

Attached is a snip of a news report that covers Hurricane Irene. I first pulled up the newspaper artivle on the web, then used the Windows screen to pull up the Snipping Tool. I then began to drag the snippers over the entire object that I wanted to capture, then saved that image to My Pictures on my desktop. I learned that I can now capture images of the entire screen shot, including the web address for example and use this as a teaching tool for students. This could be used as a still image to discuss the video clip after it is shown. When using the snipping tool, I had little trouble learning how to use it. The only problem I had was when it first came up I thought I had to click "new" to start clipping and it was actually ready to work. Standard 3: Model Digital Work and Learning by demonstrating fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations is closely related to snipping because by showing students way to snip images, it is allowing them new ways to save images and create notes or study guides all by computer. Also Standard 2: Design and Develope Digital Learning and Assessment closely relates to Snipping because teacher could very easy have students create a project online like a diagram, then have them label and snip it to save to the computer.
