Used Jing the other day in an ACT class demonstrating some Excel functions. I then saved the video and put in on my class wiki. It worked pretty well, but I will have to tweek it a little. I didn't use the microphone option which I may seriously have to consider. All this technology I don't know how to utilize it effectively in my class.
I use google docs every day. I send assignments out via google docs and all of my students have an account. I also use google docs for all of my grad courses. It is easy to use and it is always handy, you never have to worry about printing anything. If your internet connection is down, then that would be a problem, but only a temporary one.
Until next time.
Yes I really like Jing and all the related applications. It is so nice to be able to narrate a description as you demonstrate. Just take practice I guess. There are many features that I need to explore more fully. Like annotations.
ReplyDeleteHave you used the new drawings feature of Google Docs? I think it could have some application with a class as a collaborative whiteboard.
HI! I have not heard of Jing before. I am afraid to say that most of this is very new to me. I look forward to learning about it.
