Cool Web Tool 2

A cool Web tool is Jing from TechSmith corporation, this software is free and can be used for personal need, education, work, etc… The software allows capturing screen and sharing them with others. Professors and students can use this sort of visual communication to improve understanding, clarity, efficiency and it can be very much fun. The beauty about Jing is that it is free and you can capture images, and can create videos (also called screencasts) and it’s easy to use for none computer savvy. It also has a professional version which cost just $14.95 per year which is still pretty cheap compared to camtasia . Another advantage of Jing is that it is compatible to PCs and Macs. One disadvantage of Jing is that the videos length is maximized at 3 minutes. I love it personally and I use it very much when teaching online courses, it helps my students very much to follow the instructions to do their homework.
