Other Screencast Software

I found another screencast software that was free called JING, wich must be downloaded, only records for up to five minutes, and I couldn't find an embed code to.
The link to the site that the other screencast is on is here:http://screencast.com/t/elnzhMtpZGqR
I prefer Screencast-o-Matic for various reasons, but mostly the longer recording times, better user interface, and the easier to locate embed codes.

A screencast is a recording of one's computer screen that can be viewed at a later time.

Career Clusters

  The cluster I scored highest in was Arts, A/V Technology, and Communications, with a score of 71. Jobs that fall under the cluster include copy editor, online journalist, advertising, journalist, character animator, freelance designer or artist, illustrator, and computer animator. Characteristics for the Arts, A/V Technology, and Communications cluster are creativity, technological know-how, and strong customer service skills.
  Personally, I think his cluster fits me rather well, and it was the one I was most anticipating. I love writing, so if I somehow manage to get published I feel my life would be set. Others I scored high in were Architecture and Construction, Education and Training, Health Science, and Information Technology, all tying with 65.
