Here is a handy tip if you are using a Chromebook and need to perform a screen capture.
To do this, you have two options:
Hold down Ctrl + “Switch window” key to capture a full screenshot
OR
Hold down Ctrl + Shift + “Switch window” key to capture a partial screenshot.
“Explain and Send Screenshots” is a browser extension (new to me) that gives you the ability to capture screenshots and to record video of your screen. Once the capture is performed, you can write text, crop an image and perform other functions in the editor that is built in (such as insert arrows, lines, and circles to point things out). I especially like the option of uploading my own images into the editor; which, is an option you do not typically see in these type of browser extensions.
I am still playing around with this extension; however, I can tell you the developer is top notch, for which I encourage you to explore some of his other browser extensions (that in my opinion are the best out there).
I’ve tried them all (Chrome Screenshot Browser Extensions)… This one (FireShot) is now under my review; and, so far, I really love it.
Here is why:
Take FULL webpage screenshots. Capture, edit and save them to PDF/JPEG/GIF/PNG, upload, print, send to OneNote, clipboard or email.
FireShot takes full web page screenshots. You can edit and annotate captures.
You can capture web pages entirely to PDF (with links) / JPEG / PNG files, print, or copy to clipboard. FireShot can work offline.
* NEW: send screenshots directly to Gmail.

If you use the Google Chrome Browser or own a Chromebook, you need to install the browser extension called Nimbus. This extension, to me, is hybrid in nature between a browser extension and an actual app. I can tell you it is the best, by far, screen and video capture extension (app) out there for Google Chrome and the Chromebook. The clips that you capture can be edited (with the built in editor) and stored locally on your computer or online (at Nimbus or Google Drive or Slack).
In summary, here is what Nimbus can do:
Capture screenshots
– Capture the whole web page or a required section of it
– Capture the whole browser window
– Capture the browser window of other programs
– Quick capture site fragment
– Create your own drawing or model from scratch
Record screencasts (video from screen)
– Record video from your screen/tab (Screencasts)
– Record video from other active program
– Customize your screen resolution and FPS
– You can draw on video
Edit screenshots
– Paste different patterns and text boxes to your screenshot
– Resize and crop your screenshot
– Add arrows and stickers to your screenshot
– Highlight text on your screenshot
Share screenshots and screencasts
– Save screenshots in: JPG and PNG
