Screen Capture Tools

Tool: Jing (http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html)

Review of Tool: 
Jing is a screen capture tool that allows users to capture images and videos and share them with others.

Upon installation of the Jing software, the user gets an 8 page powerpoint designed to provide step by step instructions on how to use the tool. I found this to be invaluable for first time users of screen capture tools. It was difficult to navigate the tool without first looking through the guide. The screen shots provided in the guide was helpful in pointing out the exact button to use. I would strongly recommend going through the guide even if a user is familiar with screen capture tools. 

Screencast is an additional feature of Jing. This site allows the users to upload captured images and videos to save for future use. The content is private and will not be deleted unless the user deletes it. 

Here is a capture I took of my desktop background image using Jing!

Recommended use for public health messaging: Public health officials can use Jing for a variety of different ways including sharing documents, showing the public step by step picture instructions, sharing public health videos, or collaborate on design projects within the community.
