WHAT IS JING?

Jing is a cross-platform application that can be downloaded from

www.jingproject.com. It enables you to take static screen captures of your computer screen (called screenshots) as well as record short videos (less than 5 minutes) of onscreen action (called screencasts). You can then share your screen captures and screencasts instantly with others whether over the web, email, or even embedded in your online course shell. Jing’s companion site, www.screencast.com, makes sharing easy and fast. Once your screen capture or screencast is done, with a click of a button you can easily upload it to Screencast.com. Once the upload is done, Screencast.com then copies the URL to your uploaded screen capture or screencast to the clipboard of your computer, enabling you to then easily paste the URL into an email or your course management system to share with your students. Screencast.com, also, generates HTML embed code which enables you to embed your screencasts seamlessly into your online course management system. But if you do not wish to use Screencast.com to share your screen captures and screencasts, you can save your screen captures as PNG image files and your screencasts as SWF

Flash video files and distribute as you see fit (Margarita & Dave 2010).

BENEFITS OF USING JING

According to Patrick et al. (2009), Jing is useful because:

1. It is free.

2. It is available for Windows and Mac.

3. Ability to upload images and videos to screencast.com with a simple click of a

mouse is something that none of its competitors currently offer.

CHAPTER

USAGE JING IN EDUCATION

Elizabeth (2010) suggest, some quick ideas using Jing in education:

1. Create training videos for quick and easy access for students, or even yourself

for refreshers.

2. Have your students record themselves solving math problems and then post

on your classroom blog!

3. Have your students record their presentations

4. Have your students record themselves researching and presenting their

findings

5. Don’t stick to the norm! Have your students get creative – create a timeline

of an explorer’s life and then present it via Jing.

FEELING AFTER USE

It is a nice and interesting web 2.0 for teaching or for fun. I have learn by using Jing to do on youtube, powerpoint, image abd for website. It can transform in either photo or in video. If is in video, then the sound can be record by ourself. It is so much interesting and i feel happy and glad that in today lesson i learned this.
