Jing Image

Today we learned how to use Jing.  Jing  is a computer service that lets you capture basic video animation and still images and share them on the web.  It also allows you to annotate on the image you have created.  The great thing about Jing is that is allows you to capture AND annotate at the same time.  For the past few years, I have been using Greenshot to capture my images. Greenshot does not allow you to annotate and share from the same spot.  So when using Greenshot, I would capture my image, put it into a Word document and then insert shapes and text boxes to make my point. That's a lot of work!  The only negative I see with Jing (right now) is that the editing tools are somewhat limited.  Jing offered an upgrade but it was $50.  I am actually thinking about purchasing it or maybe exploring another similar screenshot service.  I am not sure if I mentioned this is in another post but I wrote a fairly popular (at least in some circles) book about football Jerry's Book.  I also speak at clinics and this would be a simple tool to enhance some of my presentations.  I am actually going to Ocean City, MD to speak this weekend.  Check out my coaching website

Here would be a sample of what I might present at a clinic
