How to Capture Images or Create Video for your Gapminder Story?

Hello everyone,

I have been using the PrintScreen function on the keyboard to take a picture of my Gapminder graph.

However, today, a friend told me about a new software called Jing that can take a picture or make a short video of what you see on your computer screen. It can also let you share your video and picture instantly on the web.

This will be a nice way to capture an image and/or create a video for your Gapminder story. I encourage you to check it out. It is very simple and easy to use. You can download the software, watch the tutorial, and try it with your own story.

First you can learn to capture a still image using the Capture Image option, save, copy and paste it into your document.

Then try the Capture Video option to create a video to show the animation of your story. You can then obtain a link to the video and share it on the our wikispace or via email, web, etc. Here is the link:

I will demonstrate how to use Jing in Lab on Thursday. Check it out before Lab if possible.
If you know any other methods of screen capture, please share.
