For this assignment, I decided to do a print screen of the Workforce WV homepage. I use this site everyday in my classroom. I have to explain how to navigate this site often, so I hope to eventually create a handout that demonstrates navigate the site. I opened the Workforce WV site on my Firefox browser. I pressed the alt key and the Print Screen key to obtain an image of the screen. I then opened the Paint program that is on my computer and pasted the image into the blank canvas on the Paint program. Once I had the image of the screen on the canvas, I used the cropping tool to cut out the top part of the site. This part of the site is very important when I am giving directions on how to get to the current job lists. Once I had the cropping tool positioned around the area I wanted to cut out, I right clicked on the area and cut that part of the image. I then open a new document in Paint and pasted the area that I had cut into the new canvas. I added a bit of text to show my students that they would need to click on public information. I then made the image as big as the canvas. I saved the Paint file with my new cropped image as a BMP file to my picture folder. I wasn't sure if I should save it in BMP or JPEG. It automatically name it a BMP file when I saved it, so I decided to leave it as that. The file is 1.67 MB. I am very unfamiliar with file sizes, so I need to investigate to see if that is a large file. I uploaded my file to Google Docs so that it could be accessed by others and to me no matter what computer I am using.
