I just wanted to take a moment to share a cool free screen capture and video tool that I regularly use. It's called Jing. Here is a link (not an affiliate link)

This is a great tool for making screen shots for training blogs or websites. Bear in mind that even on the internet Copyright reigns so be careful that you have the appropriate permissions. I use it to pinpoint helpful specific spots to show readers and trainees'.

Like this.

This is a screen shot as I wrote this blog. Look for the Blue Man avatar to find cool stuff...

You can also use Jing to create videos of specific window areas of your screen which is a REALLY cool tool to use. You can even window shoot videos of videos which is a really useful tool.

I like most is the feature that the little sunshine tool is always on the screen ready to grab and use at any time instead of having to open a separate program and flipping or tabbing screens.

Hope this helps you out.
