Here are the steps to create your Website Tutorial on VoiceThread:

2. Choose a website you would like to share and show Ms. Hernandez.
3. Take screenshots of the website. To do this press the APPLE KEY, SHIFT KEY, and 4 KEY together. Your cursor should change into crosshairs. Select the part of the desktop you would like to copy. This screenshot will be saved on the desktop.
4. Place these screenshots in your NeoOffice document and write up your script for each screenshot.

Use VoiceThread to create your project after showing your outline to Ms. Hernandez.
