Snipping Tool

The Snipping Tool is a tool that is used on a Microsoft Operating System to capture a part of the screen and saved that capture in a picture format for later use. This is a great tool, and while I was aware of the screen shot option, I was unaware of the Snipping Tool. I have a Macbook and in the Linux Operating System it is called the Grab Tool and is used in a very similar way, with similar results. For this project I had to use a computer with a Microsoft Operating System, so I could complete the necessary steps.

Below you will find the image I captured using the Snipping Tool.



I created this document, and used the Snipping Tool to demonstrate how the use of the Snipping Tool would be beneficial to me. I could use this image in a Business Computer Application Course when we are concentrating on Excel Instruction. Using the specific Image I could show what the SUM Function looks like, and how it should be correctly typed. This will prove to be very beneficial in a classroom setting.
