Name of Technology: Jing http://www.jingproject.com/
Summary: Jing is a downloadable software in which you can easily take pictures or videos of things on your computer screen. You can share these instantly on the web via website, blog, etc. There are two different versions of Jing, one of which is free. With the pay version, you are able to upload to youtube, makes uploading faster, records full videos, and add a webcam view of you to videos for $14.95 a month. This software would be good for teachers so they don't have to continuously repeat themselves with lesson plans. They could easily use Jing to make lesson plans with webcam view of them teaching it and post it online.
Using it myself: Jing wasn't overly difficult to use. I had to download the software, but only got the free version, and there really isn't much you can do or accomplish with the free version. I read about the website in the about us section, and looked at what the free version had to offer under a link titled "free version."

trying it out, I just went to iupui's map and captured the image of just the map. From there, I saved it to a gallery, and pasted it to this website.
Tips: My biggest tip for understanding this software is to download it to start, because once you have it downloaded, there is a tutorial video you can watch which will show you how to use it. Also, if you're one who constantly looks up the same information over and over, this is a good website to use, because you can capture that image and you can easily pull it up by typing in the web address.
