I mentioned this handy little program in my Symbaloo post but it really deserves a page of its own.

Snag-It, made by TechSmith, creators of Camtasia, is a screen capture utility that gives you precise control over the area of the screen that you are capturing.

I use it to capture the logos of websites that I am bookmarking in Symbaloo or to show a student what the screen looks like under certain circumstances or where to find something.

In this case, a student couldn't locate his first test - a picture was definitely worth a thousand words!
