I would like to express my gratitude to **[|TechSmith]** for their excellent products. I know this seems like an advertisement, but it is not. It is a tribute and a credit.

Their products are fantastic for educators. They have free stuff and academic licenses with reduced prices for their other stuff. I rarely buy software. I buy TechSmith products.

 **Jing** - The exception for a screenshot image not done with SnagIt is that it is done with Jing.
 * Free:**
 * To see why I love Jing for this, go to: Insert Jing Image on Wikispaces
 * And - of course - Jing is free for educators.
 * I actually have a free educator account and a Jing Pro Account.
 * I test everything for teachers on my free educator account, but for $20 a year the JingPro account lets me sort my stuff, which is really nice.


 * Not free** - but bundled and there is good pricing for academics. I cannot do my stuff without SnagIt and Camtasia Studio

 **SnagIt** - Any image you see on any of my websites, my presentations, my papers, anywhere is processed through SnagIt. What an incredible product.

 **Camtasia Studio** - I make all kinds of things with CS. It is so easy to use and so powerful.
 * I make YouTube videos (HD mp4s) - [|sample]
 * I make captioned standard videos for TeacherTube (no video looks good on TT, but CS does really well and you can caption)
 * I make animated gifs - sample

CS comes with applications
 * **MenuMaker** - First time in and it took me all of 15 minutes to build a autorun CD that ran an html and a pdf off its menu and looked great.
