Cropping pictures/screenshots

Last Friday I noticed that several students were having issues cropping their screenshots for use in their animal projects.  Gail also posted about this issue and a possible solution.  Although the kids found a way around this I have run across a much more effective approach--SKITCH!  If you don't have it on your pad you must download it today!  It has many other great applications and tools, but the cropping tool is the best I have found for free to date!  I actually wasn't working on this when I ran across it...but it works wonders.  In skitch you can select a photo from the camera roll (perhaps your animal screenshot), a screenshot of an internet page while actually on it, or a live photo.  Once you select your photo there is a cropping tool on the left hand side (4th up from the bottom).  Crop as desired, hit the box with the arrow and then the option furthest to the right (picture with arrow going in), and walla...the new cropped picture is in your camera roll.
