(Note: Don’t rely only on inserting them into a Google Docs document as you won’t be able to download them from there onto the lab computer.)

The file name should be all lower case, contain no spaces, and end in an extension that signifies what file type it is: dreamweaver-css-panel.jpg or diigo-toolbar-highlighter.png Make sure to use descriptive file names so you know what they contain. If you’re working on your own computer, create a folder for the project and save your screen shots there. (You can change the color and width of the edge of the oval or rectangle in the Annotation menu at the bottom of the screen.)
