Have you ever seen a video tutorial of a computer screen with instructions and wonder, "How do they do that?" Now you can make your own tutorials with free software! There are several different software programs available to make this happen, however 'Jing' is free and easy to use. You can capture sill images of your computer screen, record a video of your screen and share your files online. The next time someone asks you how to do something 'techie' you can create a quick video with your instructions instead of typing them out and sending them over email. It will be faster then typing out all of the steps! Check out the link below for a free download and more information.

Once you create your video/webcast/vodcast (video webcast) there are many ways to share it. If you have a wiki or webpage you can upload it there. Or, if you are not that fancy yet you can use 'Screencast.com' to share your videos. It is basically saving your files in 'the cloud' (or, online). You can share the link to your internet storage space so others can view your videos. Screencast.com is also free. You just need to set up an account. From there, you can upload your videos and files. You can even control which files are public (anyone who has your link can get to the files) and which files are private. Private files are only accessible to you when you sign in so others can't see them. It is super easy to get started. Check out the Screencast link below to get started.
