Jing is a program which allows you to take images and record videos of your screen.It is free to download program. You can use the basic features for free but the better, more advanced features you need to pay for. It costs $14.95 for the upgrade. It supports both MAC and PC.I think Jing would be a great program for the school to use. If a teacher was away and wanted to show you how to use a program, she could Jing it and send it to the students. It is ideal for showing tutorial videos.
