What do I need?

• You do not need the latest & greatest computer!• The good thing is that you most likely already

have it.

Two of the most common things we want to do, is to;1. Do screen grabs to show examples.2. And to create screen recordings.

1. A screen cast (or recording) is where the computer records everything on the screen, including mouse motion and clicks.

Using what we have on our computer

• Both Mac & PC have tools built in to do screen grabs.

• Only the Mac has a built in screen recorder.• For the PC you’ll need to download additional

software.
