To obtain my picture I searched the Internet for beaches in Mexico. I wanted to search this specific item because that is where my husband and I went on our honeymoon. As a result, I found this breathtaking photo. I then pressed the Print Screen button and pasted onto Microsoft Paint. Once on Paint I copied and cut the photo and placed it onto a new window, so I could get rid of the web page part. Then I added text by using the text box option. I saved it as a bmp.jpg file and clicked the add image button in my post. My photo is 641 x 479 pixels and the size is 60.3 KB. I never knew what the print screen button did and I think that it's so amazing that you can do things like this.
I could incorporate this tool into my classroom by combining different pictures on the subject that we are studying. For example, if we were studying about "The First Thanksgiving" I or the students could look up different pictures and facts on the Internet and place them onto Microsoft Paint. Then, we could combine them into a slide show on our projector making a presentation. This would be great for whole group discussion and interactive learning!
