Capturing information from websites

To capture information from websites including images and videos you can use a screencast. All you have to do is download Jing and then capture what you need and it will save as .swf (a type of file). When you launch the program you will see a yellow sphere at the centre top of your screen.)

You can then share information, explain information and ideas using images as well as text, give feedback and collaborate on projects in blogs, on facebook, twitter etc.

To view this file you need a program called flash viewer which is downloaded from swftools.com

All applications are free to download. Here is an example from the BBC
