![]() Skitch is a FREE tool that you can download and run on Macs, Windows, iOs (iPhone/iPad), and Android devices. ![]() Perhaps you can even have students or colleagues view the tutorial BEFORE you explain the tool or interface.One of these tools is Skitch. Using various, FREE tools, (such as the aforementioned Jing) we can create multimodal directions that learners can watch, watch again.watch again. We're asked to forward them vis email, phone in with an explanation.or perhaps even look over someone's shoulder and direct them. And if you are successful, these directions are often repeated again, and again, and again. The problem is that it is often difficult, if not impossible to type up a list explaining where to go.what to click on, etc. I select edit options on the photo I want to edit and select Skitch for my editor option.Many times we try to tackle the huge problem that exists as we teach our students and colleagues how to use all of these great ICT tools that we use daily. don’t think it’s ever crashed on me throughout the years of use, but honestly I never open the app directly. The only “sneaky” thing is the option to outline text by touching the letter on the text box. Practice with all the tools and figure out the little differences. Touch an option, pick a color, touch the screen, drag and release. I hang my head on how some people cannot figure out basic things like this on their own. there is no baby sitting tutorial on how to work it, but it’s not rocket science. You have to deselect the edit you are doing or it thinks your still working on it and won’t save that. I’ve used this app for years and cannot count the number of times it’s come in handy for personal or work use. Multiple color options so it stands out on any background…. ![]() Does arrows, boxes, lines, text, blur sensitive details, and can easily adjust what has been done. The last basic photo editor you’ll look forĬan open from the edit option in pictures or thru the app directly. It’s better than four stars but not quite a five. If I could give a 4 3/4 star rating, I would. The only other things I find less than exemplary about Skitch is its limited color palette and somewhat limited selection of drawing tools, but these are really tiny gripes the app is truly a gem! ![]() Always use as a stand-alone app and then select the image from your photos and you’ll have a much better experience! When you share to the app it almost always crashes after hitting the “Done” button and you lose your edit. The only real issues I’ve had with it are it’s propensity to crash after editing images and trying to save them in certain ways, such as “sharing” an image to the app via iPhone sharing in the camera app directly as opposed to using the app in a stand-alone fashion and then selecting the image from your photo library. All in all, it’s one of my favorite apps. Being iPad-friendly really makes it useful in a higher level too, for editing smaller graphics and text that are too tiny to edit on your phone. Skitch is a massively useful app for making quick edits on screenshots, playing with or pointing out details on photos - as well as pixelating sensitive areas in photos such as faces or license plates -, sharing information between creatives… the list goes on and on. ![]()
