The images on many web pages can be saved on your computer and used in classroom materials.  You should be careful when using well recognized images for use on web sites you create as there may be copyright issues with their use.  To capture an image your right clicks on it.  The following menu will appear.

Click on the Save Image As command.

Note:

This command may be worded slightly different and/or be in a different place depending on the Browser you are using.

The Save as dialog box will appear.  You should navigate to the folder you want to save the image in.

You can also create a new folder using the New Folder button at the top right of the Save As dialog box.

I like to go to the My Pictures folder in the My Documents folder and inside the my pictures folder create a folder for the images and graphic I am downloading for a specific project.

In some cases when you right click on an image the Save Image As command my be grayed out.  When a command is grayed out that means it is not available for use and in this case you can not save the image.

The Snipping Tool

Windows 7 comes with a Snipping tool.  This tool can cut content from an open application and save the content as an image.  To find the snipping tool go to Start, All Programs, Accessories and click on Snipping tool.  Directions for using this tool are found when you start this App.
