So you can easily create high-quality images and videos all in one program. Snagit is also the only screen capture tool with built-in advanced image editing and screen recording. Other ways the teacher can get the annotated screenshot feedback to students are to share the image with the student from Google Drive, to email the student the image, or to create a feedback document and share it with the student.TechSmith Snagit lets you quickly capture a process, add your explanation, and create visual instructions. If the teacher is giving feedback to student on a Google Doc created by the student, the teacher can screen capture elements of the document, annotate and then insert into the bottom of the students work in order to provide more detailed feedback. While students can use the Snagit Chrome extension to provide evidence of their learning, teachers can use the extension to provide feedback to students. The images would be located in the TechSmith folder. Students can find their annotated screen captures by choosing “My Drive” underneath the Google Drive option.

On the left hand side of the image upload box are different upload options. In the Google Doc students would go to the Insert menu and choose Image.

There they would insert their screen capture images and then reflect on their learning, referring to the screen captures that demonstrate their work along the way. They should then go to Google Drive and create a Google text document. While students are working digitally, create the expectation that they will capture their process and work. On the left hand side of Drive under “My Drive” a folder for “TechSmith” has been created. There is no save button because the image automagically saves to Google Drive. While there are not as many annotation options as the desktop version of Snagit, it is nice that students are able to clearly identify the areas of the screen that the teacher and classmates should pay attention to. Students can also add text to the image to explain elements in the image. If the website offers a score or indication of progress they can draw arrows or put a box around the important parts of the image. The capture will launch in a pop up window that allows the student to annotate the capture. Once they are satisfied that the capture region demonstrates their work, students will click on the blue camera icon. Holding down the mouse click, students will drag out to create a rectangle that captures the region of the screen that they want to show.Īfter releasing the mouse click, the student can adjust the capture region by dragging on the orange corners or sides. Students can capture a particular region of the screen by clicking on the upper left hand spot on the screen where they want to capture. If the student wants to show the entire webpage they may want to choose “Visible” or “Scrolling.” Scrolling captures the part of the webpage that is off the screen. Most of the time I use the first option “Region.” This allows the student, or myself, to screen capture part of the screen. While on a webpage students will click o the blue S extension icon to the right of the Omnibox.Ĭlicking on the extension shows a menu of options on the right hand side of the screen. When students are doing digital work they are able to use the Snagit extension to screen capture their work and progress. The Snagit app and extension are both by TechSmith. Using the Google Chrome browser, go to the Chrome web store and type in “Snagit” into the search. Snagit by TechSmith has a Chrome app and Chrome extension that is free. Additionally, teachers need to be able to comment on and provide feedback on digital student work. If students are using computers there is a need for students to capture their learning and to be able to explain it.
