Jing Image

Yesterday and this morning I spent a few hours playing with Jing.  This is a very basic screen capture and annotation software.  If you don't have access to PowerPoint, Screencast.com  Screencast is a storage place for  web access to images and videos created by Jing.  You can check out my screencast presentation by clicking here. Over the past years I have begun to heavily rely on sites such as screencast.  I can access my files anywhere, edit them, and present them from any computer that has internet access.

it is pretty cool.  I put together an annotated screenshot of a highlights page I use in my developmental math classes. Here I circled the important formulas needed in the chapter and highlighted important facts.  I saved my work and I can easily place my image in any type of presentation I need.  I also noted that the image can be sent to

This little exercise in Jing is applicable to the ISTE-NETS-T standard 2:  Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.  By using Jing/Screencast.com and other similar sites I can easily develop lesson plans using this technology.  Highlighting certain aspects of the lesson, important ideas and topics are brought to the forefront.  Assessments are easily incorporated using artifacts created by this technology.  Jing is an easy and effective way to present material to a class.
