The print screen option still works today (unless you have it mapped to another application).

Then you pasted the screenshot into something like MS Paint and made your edits. This took a snap shot of your screen and loaded it on the clipboard. Years ago when you wanted a screenshot you pressed the PRINT SCREEN button. Below is a quick description and then I added a tutorial that shows how they work. Here are three easy ways to do screenshots and they won’t cost you a bit. The good thing is that if you need to do screenshots, most likely you already have the tools to do so. But what do you do if you don’t have the money for a paid tool and you don’t want to download risky free product? I’d stick with a paid tool because they don’t cost that much. Most look like they were built in 1995 and many are bundle with adware or possible malware. If you do a search you’ll find that there are a ton of screenshot products on the market-both free and paid. Just grab an image and save it in my ideas folder for later. I also use screenshots when I run across a template or idea that I may want to use in a future elearning course. It’s easy to create a quick screen grab and then add a few notes. I also use them almost daily for project reviews. I use them for a lot of my software training.

Screenshots and elearning go hand-in-hand.
