Trainers Talk Tech

In my quest to find good Netbook software that runs in the "cloud" a friend told me about two sites that replace Captivate. Yes, the screen capture software, allowing you to record content on your computer screen. I am experimenting with this software now and cannot wait to report on it.

The first is called Screencast-o-matic.
http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/
From their home page: "Screencast-O-Matic is the free and easy way to create a video recording of your screen (aka screencast) and upload it for free hosting all from your browser with no install!" It looks like it needs Java, and seemed to work fine on my Mac using Firefox.

The second is called Jing
http://www.jingproject.com/
From their home page: "Jing is free software that adds visuals to your online conversations. Instead of typing a people, show them what you are talking about...pronto." Looks like it does screen capture in addition to "screencasting" and sharing of your video. Jing works on both Mac's and PCs.

Looks like this software may be a good alternative for Captivate, Camtasia or Snagit! Try these and tell me about your experiences or post a comment!

Special thank you to Ginger for sending these my way! You are a rock star!

Still looking for HTML writing software in the "cloud"...
