JING
[] || == ||

Introduction
JING is a free capture software that allows you to
 * Select portions of what is on your computer desktop or uploaded file. This feature is very similar to ALT + PRNT SCR (print screen) plus copying the capture to a photo editing software to select what is needed. It is also similar to using Snag-it. Descriptions of the information on the photo can be added, using a text and arrow feature, and the photo saved. The photo can then be added to a word document, presentation, etc.
 * Record a short video of your mouse movements based on a particular task. You can also record a short video narrative.

Once the JING software is downloaded, a sun appears on your desktop (see above picture of the sun) that can be moved around to be either on the top of your screen on on a side of your screen.

When you hold your cursor over the sun 3 items appear. The item on the left is to allow the capturing of the area that will be the image or the video. The central item brings up a history dialog box showing all the JING files you have created. The item on the right is defined as More. This gives additional characteristics of JING. More also allows you to provide feedback to JING.

The captured images are .png files and can be saved as any specified file in any specified folder or drive. The videos are .swf files and can be uploaded onto a video web site used for JING: Screencast.com. The JING video and snapshots can then be referenced on a classroom site. The videos are a max of 5 minutes long. Downside to the videos. You cannot upload the .swf file onto YouTube. You can upload it to Screencast.com, Twitter, or Facebook (I missed mentioning Twitter and Facebook in my video). The free version of Screencast.com has a file storage size limit of 2 GB unless you purchase the Screencast.com Pro - you then have 25 GB of storage.
