Comments from those who selected it as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

  • "I use the video capture relentlessly to teach my students how to handle web tools and show our IT dept the problems I am having!" Jane Challinor
  • "Capture video from your screen or take quick snapshots. Use this free utility to create instructional videos (<5 minutes). TechSmith will even store these flash files on their server. A REAL winner."  Leigh Zeitz
  • "I never heard of this wonderful little tool until I snooped around the 25Tools site. It is too good. I capture screens and paste them into my slideshows for tomorrow’s class. It is so easy and sits at the top of my screen, hovering and ready for action." Lissa Lord
  • "I love the idea that student can automatically screen capture their work! While they are limited to only five minutes, student can create great presentations in little segments!"  Beth Ritter-Guth
  • "I'm finding I'm using this more and more. It's similar to Wink, Captivate and Snagit. However, where these are great for producing finished, polished products, Jing just sits there for when it's needed and works quickly. It's ideal for producing "disposable learning objects" (not my term, but it's starting to appear more frequently). If I need to show someone how a software function works, I capture it (either as a single image or a movie - with narration, then can choose whether to publish it to TechSmith's Screencast.com site, to my own ftp site, or to a file. It's simple. It's easy to use. And my clients think it's great."  Mark Berthelemy
  • "Free tool for creating screencasts. I've used it to create tutorials that are then saved on Screencast.com. It's very easy to use"  Heather Ross
  • "This is an elegant solution to online publishing of visuals and videos."  Patrick Mayfield
  • "ease of use is outrageous"  Will Richardson
  • "One of the best tools for quick screen grabs. I love how it automatically ftps the file to a web server and places the link on my clipboard to share."  Robert Chapman
  • "This screen-capture tool is so easy to use and every top 10 list should include a way to easily share what is happening on-screen."  Mark Arnold
  • "I love being able to capture any part of the screen I want and then be able to highlight sections or write on the capture"  Jenny Luca
  • "I use it to record quick "just in time" screencasts showing people how to accomplish specific web tasks, like organizing a wiki or signing up for a blog account. Much easier  and more effective than trying to coach through email or over the phone."  Michele Martin
  • Comments from those who selected it as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007

    • "a great screen capture freeware program for my Mac. It’s quick easy and I can add highlights and arrows."  Cheri Toledo
