Take a Picture of Your Chromebook Screen!

There´s a great set of keystrokes to use to take a picture of your Chromebook screen, or a part of your Chromebook screen!

For a complete screen: press Ctrl key and the Multi-screen key (located on the top row of the Chromebook keyboard.)

For a part of the screen: press Ctl key, Shift key, and the Multi-screen key.  Your cursor will become a crosshair, so you can click and drag across the part of the screen you want to grab.

After you let go of the keys, the system will copy it to your clipboard, so you can paste it into the document, slide, web site, etc.  

We used this when creating avatars on Avatarmaker.com.  The images wouldn´t download, so the students just did a screen grab of their avatar, and pasted it in their book talk slide stack.

Tech Troubleshooting- Chromebook resolution is too large

I´ve been noticing lately that some of our Chromebooks have a screen resolution that is quite large.  That means that students may not see all that there is to see on a site, and some of the content may ¨fall off the edges" of the Chromebook.  An example is below- image 1 is a larger screen resolution than image 2.  Watch this very short video to fix the problem.
