Rather than printing out all home learning documents you may wish to transfer information straight to them to save an upload on the screen.

To do this please follow the steps below:

• Open the document on the screen and enlarge it so that it is full screen or as near as possible. 
• At the top of your keyboard you will see a key that says print screen or psc, if you do not have this function you may need to google how you should take a screen grab, or print screen on your machine. 
• Once you have pressed print screen an image of your screen has been saved to your clip board.
• Open a new document in Paint, Publisher, Powerpoint or Word.
• Right click your mouse and click paste, the image of your screen should appear. 
• You may wish to crop the image so that it is only the document on view.
• Click on the text box option, put the box where you wish to add text and type your answer. If using paint you will be able to use the pen function to write straight onto the document. Paint is probably the easier application to use. 
• Once finished save your document as you would normally and upload it to send to your teacher.
