When you're trying to teach people how to do something new on their computers having screencast videos or annotated screen capture images can be invaluable to you and the people you're trying to help. Here are some free tools that you can use to create screen capture videos and images.
"This is a truly amazing iPad app which replaces a whole TV crew and studio. Capture your video and audio use like adjusting the sound levels, an in-build teleprompter and green screen effects to make spectacular footage. Edit your video directly in the app and add images, websites and Twitter feed as cutaways sections of the screen."
Use Jing to capture anything you see on your computer screen and share it instantly...as an image or short movie. Great for tutorials in learning. Can tape your voice as you help students with online procedures.
Diigo extension for Google Chrome allowing the following:
1. One-click screen capture
2. Annotate the screen shot with rectangles, circles, arrows, lines and text
3. Crop (or clip) any part of the screenshot
4. Save the screenshot or copy to clipboard.

Skitch is, in a nutshell, a screen capture and image editing utility that makes it extremely easy to edit, draw on, and type over images before uploading them to the web.
Multimedia online note taking tool. Students can capture screen images, make audio recordings for notes, or write text notes to accompany drawings. These different media can then be organized into videos!
I envision it being similar to Evernote with more interaction capabilities and with the great addition of being able to create videos of the information gathered. I like this tool!
"A very useful tool to capture videos of your computer screen, webcam and audio as a shareable upload which can be downloaded for offline use and editing."
