You can search for your topic in Wikimedia Commons, by simply typing the topic name in the search bar. We will do this for ‘Digital Story Telling’ (DST) which is the OER proposed to be created as an exemplar by this toolkit.

* To get images that are OER, you can provide OER as a criteria in your search itself. In Google image search select <u>Settings → Advanced Search</u>. In Advanced Search, you can select Usage Rights as ‘free to use, share or modify, even commercially’ to get OER that you can re-use, with or without modification.

Tux Paint allows you to create simple animations by letting you create a slide presentation of a set of images. You can save the image you drew. Make small changes to it and save it as a new file. You can then ‘play’ the two photos in a recurring manner to create a simple animation.

We have created two drawings of a tree, one with fruits and one without. Playing these two images recurrently creates a simple animation of the changes in the tree over the seasons.
We have created two drawings of a tree, one without fruits (shown in previous section) and one with (below). The second one is created simply by painting small fruits on the earlier painting and saving the same. Playing these two images recurrently in Tux Paint creates a simple animation of the changes in the tree over the seasons.

One of the simplest and yet very powerful ways of creating an image is to simply take a picture of your computer screen. You may have opened a web page on which there is an image or some text you want to store as an image, or it may be from a file on your computer, or it may be a snapshot of a video you are playing.

You have an option of capturing the entire display on your screen or selecting a smaller area. For the latter option, chose ‘select area to grab’ and then use the mouse to drag drop the (rectangular) area you want to capture. (Move your cursor to the left top of the area, keep your left mouse click pressed, move the cursor to the right bottom point and release it).
