EDUC 6305 Advanced Educ.Tech. Jing Screencast

Looking for a way to incorporate micro-blogging into your curriculum?   Watch Microblogging with Edmodo!

To create this digital movie without a digital camera, use the Jing feature "capture video".   The user selects a region or area to be recorded.  The area is chosen by clicking and dragging the "rectangle" to make a capture.The options for saving a capture are: (1) Choose save from the Jing toolbar menu to save to your device (2) a specific url is created, copied to your clipboard and ready to be pasted in a new tab  (3) Click "share via screencast"  this allows your Jing video to be uploaded to your library, located at screencast.com. To retrieve my screencast (1) it depends on where I choose to save (pictures, desktop, etc...) (2) Go to screencast.com and choose share;  a link and/or an embed code are generated by screencast.com. To share with others, I have the option of embedding a code into blogs, webpages or emailing the link.   Jing also creates a hyperlink that is copied to your clipboard, which can be pasted anywhere.  Jing videos are saved as (swf), this file extension indicates a small web format, used for embedding videos, and playing flash animation files.


NETS-T: 
Teachers using Jing are designing and exploring creative applications of technology to promote student learning.  Jing would allow teachers to model digital-age work and learning by providing screen captures and videos to deliver content.  I have found screen captures especially effective when describing a lengthy process. For example, screen captures that assist students setting up a blog can be beneficial.
