Part A: Screen Capture using built-in tools

 * OS: Mac OS X.5.8
 * 1) Technique: Used the shortcut Command-Shift-4 to capture a portion of the screen. The command brings up a crosshair cursor that allows you to select the portion of the screen you want to capture. Used Preview to open the image, reduce its size, and export a JPEG.
 * 2) Process: The built-in OS capture tools are very simple and easy to use - in fact, I use them quite often to create guides or explain how to do something.

Part B: Screen Capture using Jing

 * OS: Mac OS X.5.8
 * 1) Technique: Downloaded and installed Jing. Used Jing crosshairs to select the region of the screen and saved it to disk. Used Preview to open the image, reduce its size, and export a JPEG.
 * 2) Process: While Jing has more extensive sharing tools, the screen capture process is slightly more complicated than the built-in tools.

**Part C: Screen Capture using Jing**

 * 1) OS: Mac OS X.5.8
 * 2) Technique: Started a capture of my screen and proceeded to narrate as I worked thru the short demonstration.
 * 3) Process: Jing makes screencasting very simple and straightforward. However, since I did a capture of the complete screen, I had to edit the embed code to make it playback at half-size.

Slideshow creation using Flixtime.

 * OS: Mac OS X.5.8
 * 1) Technique: Exported smaller size images from iPhoto, uploaded to FlixTime, and inserted in slideshow. Uploaded MP3 of the music and inserted in the slideshow.
 * 2) Process: The online tool was surprising simply and fast, but very limited (at least in the free account).
