Great Little Screen Capture Tool

Lately we've been working away on a hand-out for our upcoming Flash course (see description below). I want to add many pictures of the screen to help walk people through the steps we are going to show them. Although for screen captures, I use "Snagit", a little brother to Camtasia (both are part of the techsmith family of tools), I wanted to see what kind of open source or freeware files were out there for this task.

We came across MWSnap 3.0 . A small but powerful freeware program.

Not only does this program provide easy access to the type of tools I like to use in SnagIt, it has many features I haven't even seen in Snagit!

Screen captures can be an important part of the Instructional Design and Development Flow... we will use them to aid in storyboard development, capture special software screens such as images from special software used in Engineering or Mathematics... Barely a day goes by when I am not using my screen capture software.

I encourage you to download MWSNAP, install it and capture away! Then let me know what you think... don't forget to try the "add cursor" option if you are making computer tutorials.
