A recent college course on instructional technology has revealed that there is still so much more to learn. Let’s start this post with the most interesting tool for image editing… Thankfully there is a tool that can capture a screen shot of a paragraph, the beauty of a photo, or the certain part of a message. This tool not only captures but also empowers you to edit the image size, add your own words, or highlight the most important spots. It's like a magic wand for your digital content.  But if you want more than just a basic photo, you can move on to the next powerful tool that I didn’t realize could do so much… Every millennial's favorite tool they learned in grade school...   As you can see, at first, I took a “Snipping Tool” image and then copied it over to PowerPoint to edit the image. While this was only a small add to the photo, Pow
