EASY! Screen Capture and Share? Forget Camtasia, Try Jing!

Created by Jeff VanDrimmelen (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) on August 4, 2007

As technology and teaching becomes more and more important, so does the need to teach others to use that technology. For a while the standard in the industry has been Camtasia. Don't get me wrong, the program is great, but it costs around $300. Not always feasible for educators like us.

A couple days ago Doug Edmunds from the School of Law here on campus sent out a link to a new, free (for now) screen capture program called Jing. I was so impressed that I wrote this article that looks at how to use the program, some of the features, and some missing features. I hope this is useful to some of you.
