8. The Scan

9. Screen Capture

10. Vista Snipping Tool

11. SNAGIT

12. SNAGIT • You can get SNAGIT at: http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.asp

13. Image Editors • Almost any image editing software will allow you to crop or resize graphics • Examples: Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or Lview Pro

14. The Pull • The purpose of the pull is to single out an important sound bite from an essential document.

15. Ways to Pull Text • Type • This usually gives the clearest result • Blow up image • Especially useful if it is something like a signature or a handwritten note • Sometimes a combination is best • An image of the full page and then a pull that is retyped.

16. Blowup, example

17. The Citation • Text pulls should be carefully cited • Both descriptively • Letter of 10/20/99 from X to Y • And trial identification • Exhibit number

18. Citation, example Public participation in local government comprehensive land use planning benefits Florida’s natural resources, scenic beauty and citizens. #SC06-161 – Advisory Opinion to the Attorney General re: Referenda Required for Adoption and Amendment of Local Government Comprehensive Land Use Plans

19. Highlighting • Highlighting the text in the original document shows where the pulled text is located. • This helps to authenticate the pull • It also emphasizes important information

20. Highlighting • Most programs that allow editing have a highlighting feature • Adobe Acrobat under Tools/Commenting/Highlight Text Tool • MS Powerpoint on the Drawing Toolbar, draw a rectangle around the object you want highlighted, right click and choose Format Auto Shape then set the background color. • In MS Word, on the formatting toolbar, click highlighting

21. PowerPoint Drawing Feature • To use PowerPoints drawing feature • For Office 2003 Click on View and then under Toolbars make sure Drawing is checked • For Office 2007 and 2010 go to the Insert ribbon

22. Powerpoint Drawing • The drawing bar will appear at the bottom of your PowerPoint display if using PowerPoint 2003

23. Other Types of TextPulls • Juxtaposed Textpulls • Compares text from two or more sources to show either convergence or divergence • Thematic Textpulls • May show multiple quotations on the same topic or issue • Supporting Textpulls • Used to supplement other sources such as a timeline

24. Timelines • A timeline is a way of organizing events in chronological order

25. Timelines • Most timelines are divided into two or three parts • The timebar • Written entries • And possibly icons or graphics to visually communicate an important event.

26. Timebar, example 1 Date Put text describing event here Date Put text describing event here Date Icon, graphic, textpull here JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JULY AUG

27. Timebar, example 2

28. Timebar, example 3

29. Types of Timelines • Macrotimelines • Microtimelines • Topical timelines • Action/Reaction Timelines

30. Macrotimelines • The view from a height

31. View from a Height (good overview, but not much detail)

32. View from a Height (more detail)

33. View from not so High(much more detail)

34. Microtimelines • Use a microtimeline with a macrotimeline to focus on smaller but important time periods

35. How Not to Do a Timeline

37. Other Types of Timelines • Segmented timelines • Breaks content into phases or segments • Layer Cake timelines • Breaks content into layers with different content in each layer • Sequential timelines • Use when the date of events is less important than the sequence of events • Juxtaposed timelines • Used to compare or contrast information

38. Flowcharts, example 1

39. Flowcharts, example 2

40. PowerPoint Flowchart Feature • From the drawing toolbar click on AutoShapes and then Flowchart • Drag the shape you want into the PowerPoint presentation
