Jing was a lot of fun to play around with! I did my Jing screencast on Glogster, because I thought that would be something that the teachers in my school would use! I had to try it several times though, because something would happen, like I'd get an email, and you'd see it on the screencast, or a phone would ring, etc. But I finally got it right! Jing is a valuable training tool for our peers. We can create tutorials that they can watch anytime! We can use Jing for not only teaching other teachers, but we can use Jing to show our students and their parents how to use these internet tools. We use skills tutor at my school, and I thought that it would be great if I had used Jing to show parents how to used Skills Tutor at home, then I probably wouldn't have had so many questions about it! A third way to use Jing, is by having the kids create one! One of the standards is to have the students create a how to writing. This is a perfect tool to help the students create how to writings, because they can show and tell how to do something first, using Jing. For the younger ones, we can create a screencast as a class, and the students can write about it! Here's my screencast on Glogster:
I love your jing! I might(if you don't mind) use if for my teachers at my school! My teachers here are ready to start using gloster... but I don't have the time to each of them. Great way to get the info out! thanks!
ReplyDeleteJing is great. I have thinking of using to make lessons for students so if they miss class they can still have access to the information. We do have programs that have tutorials for teachers on how to use tools but with Jing I can do recent and shorter videos so teachers can see how to really do something.
ReplyDeleteI am about to use glogster and I hope you don't mind but I am going to show them your Jing. It is great. Have fun.
