Jing was first launched in 2007 by TechSmith Corp. Jing enables users to share what they are seeing and/or doing on their computer screens.
Jing allows you to capture whole or certain parts of a screen which you are currently viewing and working with and create an instructional picture or video which can then be shared with others.
In the Classroom Jing can...
- Improve online conversations by adding visuals
- Allow teachers to observe the methods children use to solve maths problems through videos
- Aid in making instructions explicit
- Take screen shots of specific screen areas
- Allow teachers to give students tasks which can be completed and recorded
- Provide a visual aid for students
I think Jing is a fantastic innovation which (after watching the presentation in class today) is simple and easy to use! The possibilities for classroom integration are endless. However, I am not sure how the lower primary aged students would go using this software...
