DO

Check out one or more of the following:

• Jing -- Watch the video tour (the link is at the top/left of the page) and decide whether or not to download Jing to your computer (it is free, quick and easy). Once you download it, a yellow spot appears in the upper left-hand corner of your browser. Hover your cursor over the spot to select which function of Jing you want: Capture Images, Record Video, and more.

• Skitch -- Watch the demo and then download it for free. Reading the personal testimonies will help you see the value of Skitch.

• Check out this example of a tutorial Ann made using Captivate, a non-free screencasting service.

BLOG

• If you downloaded Jing or Skitch, drop a screen capture into your blog.

• After reading the articles and viewing the demos, do you see a purpose for screencasting in your work or personal life?
