This is an easy tutorial for using Jing

1. Jing:
Developed by TechSmith Corporation, Jing is a computer software program used to share
images or movies with others on the Internet.
Use Jing to :
Take Screenshots: Capture an image of what you see on your computer screen
Record Screencasts: Record up to 5 minutes of onscreen video
This program can be used for education too, by using Jing to record your feedback as you
grade papers, or take a snapshot to share with your class. Your students can even use it to
collaborate, or ask questions!
Jing is available for both Mac OS X and Windows-based computers
I can also use Jing in education.
This free program should be downloaded on desktop, to be able to be used after downloading.

6. I realized that I can’t zoom; the picture loses its quality.
Here I captured a video; I can record up to 5 min of onscreen video.
And it records all the voices around, if I spoke it record my voice in the video.
I can share my images and videos on the internet on screencast.com.
When I take the capture, automatically a folder is created on my pc and the images are also
saved there, so now I have the captured images saved in jing file and in new folder on my
laptop.
