Welcome
to a new year of Technology Superheroes! Thanks for joining us. We hope to
provide some new learning for you. It is
not too late to join…just email Melanie or I letting up know you want to
participate. If you have an idea for a
blog post, please let Melanie or I know.
Last
year, I posted about a super handy screen capturing tool called Jing. Well, my fabulous AP, Michelle Baumann,
showed me a tool I like even better because it is already on my MacBook and
doesn’t require a download. If you go
to System Preferences, choose Keyboard.
Up in the box towards the top, choose Keyboard Shortcuts, then
Screenshot (on the left). Check the
options you would like to use, then you can click on it and rename it something
easier for you to remember. For example,
I use the selection options all the time, so I renamed the “Save Picture of Selected
Area as File” to Option F (using the option key by the spacebar.) I also renamed “Copy the Selected Area to the
Clipboard Option C. This feature is
great to insert quick little snapshots into emails and such!
If
you are really into using shortcuts, you can see (and rename if you like) them
by choosing different categories in the box on the left. Happy shortcutting!
