Screencast-O-Matic update

So, I really liked the Screencast-O-Matic program and I am thinking that I would LOVE for my students to create their own Excel "lessons" for each other in my Microsoft Office class (we call it CIS for those of you keeping score).  The program is free but it has to be installed on the network as I do not have admin rights to the computers in my class.  For any of you that work for a government agency, you KNOW how hard that can be.  I spoke to our TRT assistant (Technology Resource Teacher) and she said well, you have to put in a trouble ticket and we will see what we can do.  As a dutiful soldier, I placed my trouble ticket in and VOILA, it seems that we have Snagit which is the $50 upgrade of Jing (which I reviewed on Jan 27) already in the "system".  All you have to do is get the IT guy to map it to my computers. My thought was "why didn't anyone ever tell us about this".  Well, I actually didn't think that, but if you know me, you can imagine.  I actually spent more time thinking and researching options and work arounds than it took to have the software installed on EVERY computer in my classroom
