Awesome Screenshot is a very practical tool that in the form of an extension will allow you to create screenshots very easily.
Awesome Screenshot is a very simple tool that will do great service to a teacher or trainer for create a tutorial or commented captures from a web page.
Awesome Screenshot takes the form ofan extension to install on your browser. Even if the website of the tool does not make this clear, this extension exists for the three main browsers on the market: Chrome, Safari and Firefox. It works in a similar way.
Once installed, a small icon appears on the menu bar of your browser. When you want to capture content on a web page during your navigation, a click on the icon will bring up a small menu allowing you to capture it in the form of an image: the total page, the visible part of the page or a part of the page that you will be able to define with your mouse pointer.
Once captured, Awesome Screenshot displays a menu above your image allowing you to annotate it. You can write on it, insert arrows, surround or frame elements. All that remains is to save your image.
The tool allows you to pass through if you wish to share your screenshot or screenshot by email and on the main social networks.
Some users report some bugs on the forums. I tested Awesome Screenshot on Chrome and Safari and did not meet any of them.
Useful simple and free, a very convenient extension to slip into your digital toolbox.

I found http://web-capture.net which is very convenient too
I installed Comment.me for screenshots of web pages and it allows annotating them For my other screenshots I installed Greenshot which allows annotation and export to a lot of clouds.
Thank you very much Christophe. I didn't know Greenshot.
