What do I need?
• You do not need the latest & greatest computer!
• The good thing is that you most likely already
have it.
Using what we have on our
computer
Two of the most common things we want to do,
is to;
1. Do screen grabs to show examples.
2. And to create screen recordings.
1. A screen cast (or recording) is where the
computer records everything on the screen,
including mouse motion and clicks.
Using what we have on our
computer
• Both Mac & PC have tools built in to do screen
grabs.
• Only the Mac has a built in screen recorder.
• For the PC you’ll need to download additional
software.
