JING!

JING is a program which allows users to make screen shots and to record short 5 minute videos. It also brings users to a program similar to the Paint application where we can edit our images. Some of the tools include: highlighting certain parts, using arrows, creating text boxes and changing colours. JING gives the option of saving the video/image onto your computer or it can generate a URL link that can be used onto various programs such as your blog. There is also the option to pay for JINGPRO which is an advanced program with even more tools to use!

JING can be used in the classroom for teachers to edit students' work OR you may choose to allow students' to mark each others work (Peer assessment). Another great thing about JING is that because it is already on your computer, it can be easily sent off to people via email.



JING!







There are a few limitations of JING though.....
It can be a bit difficult to figure out - for instance, I've tried to upload my video several times but there seems to be an constant error occuring!
Also, the sound quality is not quite up to scratch with other programs. Can you think of any other limitations which may prevent you from using JING in the classroom???????

    I found Jing frustrating. Having studied Google Docs and understanding it, apart from the picture capture and videoing I could do all the Jing htings with Google Docs. Anything that causes frustration gets the flick from me cause I have enough to deal with. I'm not convinced that the time spent on Jing is worth it.
