==== Cropping an image ====
Often, you want some part of a larger image to re-use in a different resource. GIMP allows you to select parts of an image - in different shapes or even using a freehand selection to select parts of an image. This is different from a screen shot where you can only grab an area that is in the shape of a rectangle. You can select parts of an image from Select Tools → Selection Tools → Free Select You can move your cursor on the image to outline the area you want to crop, this is free hand, not necessarily in the form of a rectangle. Then crop the image to your selection through Image → Crop to Selection (image 9 xxx). We have cropped the image to free select only the teacher and the student (see the dotted line in image 9).
You can export this cropped image using File → Export as and export to an image format like .png or .jpeg.
==== Adding text to an image ====
You may want to add a caption to an image and make that caption a part of the image itself. You can do this using GIMP.
Select Tools → Text. A text tool box appears.
Place your cursor where you want to type your text. You can format the text (change font size, colour) through the Text tool box.
In our image, we have added the text ‘Digital Storytelling, Health centre’ and selected the yellow colour for the text, since it will display better against a dark background (image 10 xxx). (Tip - the text should be in a colour contrasting with the background, for easier visibility).

==== '''Student activity time''' ====
You should use GIMP to work on your image OER that you have created. You should use the text input option to enter captions on your image OER. You can crop a part of an image which contains the message you want to convey.
GIMP is a very advanced and sophisticated image editor and students who have an interest in drawing/painting/visual art can explore many more features in GIMP to edit image resources.
