ScreenSteps: Simple documentation

Judi Sohn

I took screenshots with Skitch , recorded movies with Jing. and I tell them. To make finding this info easier, I started building wiki pages for documenting how we at C3 do what we do. Took forever. The problem is that things change. And when they do I'd have to redo/update the documentation. And it was cumbersome to organize and build.

Crazy for the Tools

NTEN

TechSmith also makes cool free/paid video capture Jing as well more complex Camtasia – all good. Create a lesson, add a step, capture and annotate a screen, add notes, and on to the next step.
