Quick tips for making your own resources

Here are some tips for creating resources for yourself...

Use screen-snipping!

Using existing tools and then taking a screen snip can be a quick and easy way to get an image to paste into Word, PowerPoint, etc.

• Graph paper: Use Desmos or GeoGebra to show a grid in the proportions you want and then screen-snip the part you need.
• Geometric shapes: Use GeoGebra to create geometric shapes, angles etc., and then screen-snip the part you need.

Inkscape

• Inkscape is free and easy to use. You can create very detailed shapes, diagrams etc., then save as PNG to insert in your worksheet.
  Many of the tools in my resources export to SVG, so having Inkscape means you can quickly and easily make changes or additions to the exported resources.
• Inkscape can also be used to create really nice layouts for worksheets etc, where you need more flexibility than Word.

Word

• You can create some useful resources using things like tables and drawing tools in Word. You can also make use of the Equation editor to get nicely formatted equations.
