Jing!

Have you ever been looking at something on your screen and wanted to preserve it as a file to use later? Maybe your computer is doing something wacky, and you want a snapshot to e-mail to your tech support...or you want to record some video detailing steps in a piece of software. There are a number of ways to do this, but one of the easiest I've used is a *free* program by TechSmith called Jing. Jing allows you to do static and movie screen captures, and then save them locally or online. It's also available for both Mac and PC!

Just start Jing, and you can capture everything that happens on your screen! Check out a sample Jing capture here.

    Good to hear about Jing. Jing can probably used to facilitate the demonstration of the use of a new software to a novice user, may be record an open access documentary and include it in virtual demo modules, analyse a high speed action by recording and reviewing it at slow pace....

    This is really cool! I feel like this could be useful for some students whom I have asked to complete things online and print off to turn in...to save paper they could just 'Jing' the screen and send it in.
