Learning to Screenshot and Share

This first part should take about 10 minutes. The steps are many, however, each one is only a single click.

The second will take about 25-30 mins depending on how long you take annotating your screenshot and typing in Google Classroom.

For students using an iPad, use the screenshot tool with the POWER BUTTON and the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON

Either follow this clip or the slower walkthrough below.

            2. Hi New New, there is no 'Install' button. It says 'Add to Chrome' and it takes you to the Web store to install then. You must be signed in to your school account. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/awesome-screenshot-screen/nlipoenfbbikpbjkfpfillcgkoblgpmj
