A screen grab or screen shot is capturing or taking a picture/'photograph' of what is currently appearing on your computer screen. It is handy when you need to show someone how to do something via e-mail.

The steps to screen grabbing/screen shooting:

1. Look for a key on your key board that says "PrtScn" or "Print Screen"(usually located on the right side of the key board). You can also press "Alt" + "PrtScn/Print Screen" to capture selected window.
2. Press the keys "Ctrl" + "V" (Keys: Ctrl + V = paste) to paste in a programme like Word or Paint or an e-mail.
3. The screen shot can be manipulated or saved as a document or just as any other image depending on where you have pasted the screen shot.
