Snip & Sketch and PowerPoint

 This week for my technology class I learned more about Snip & Sketch. When I started my job three years ago, I was introduced to Snip & Sketch. I did not know much more than that I could take a picture of something on my computer screen and save it to different places in my computer. Then I noticed a coworker, who was younger than myself, highlighting things that she had snipped. I started exploring and found the highlighter and I learned that I had to highlight the snip before I saved it or I could not get it highlighted. (I was sure there was a way to do that but then I didn't know that trick.) Then I noticed that same coworker snipping something and pasting it directly into a document instead of saving it and then copying and pasting it into another document. I again starting trying things and I discovered that after I snipped something I could then just go to the document I needed to put the picture and click & paste and my picture appeared. 

I know that you are all thinking, wow this lady really doesn't know much, but this is me and I don't!

For my job I need to email people different instructions on how to go into our database and find things they need or  how to use different tools in that database. So this week for class I had the chance to make a "How To" handout as Dr. Robin called it. WOOHOO I figured this out. So now I can take a screen shot of something and put it on a Power Point slide and add arrows pointing to something or circle the place to click or highlight  something on that screen. 

I have only used mostly the shape and picture formatting in Power Point. As I have more time to explore, I hope to learn more, become faster at creating and become more efficient over all at using these tools.
