My Jing on Google Docs ([|President Demo])

By - [|TechSmith Corporation]. __Here is TechSmith's Verbal Description of Jing:__ and Sreencast.com [|//http://www.**screencast**.com///] "Elegant in its simplicity, Jing's minimal feature set keeps the focus on instant sharing. We think it's the perfect companion to the casual, fast-paced online conversations we all have every day.

Capture what you see: Initiate a capture by clicking Jing's happy, always-ready "sun" icon...or pressing a hotkey of your choice. You can capture a **window, pane, or region**. Make a point: Need to emphasize or explain? Mark up your screenshot with a basic **text box, arrow, highlight, or rectangle**. Share instantly: Just tell Jing where to send the screenshot and—BAM!—it's there and ready to share. When you send to a destination like Screencast.com or Flickr, **Jing even places a hyperlink on your clipboard**. No need to wait: imply paste (ctrl-v or command-v) the link into an IM chat, email, forum post, Twitter, anywhere...and when the person clicks it **they see your freshly-uploaded screenshot**. Like magic.

Record what you see (and do): Select a window or region and Jing will record a video of everything that appears in that area. Point to things with your mouse, scroll, flip through photos, click around in a website or application...Jing captures it all. Narrate on the fly: If your computer has a microphone, Jing can record your sparkling commentary at the same time. Since everyone prefers short and pithy, recording time is capped at 5 minutes. Share at the speed of conversation: The moment you're done recording, your little screencast movie is ready to upload. The moment it's on Screencast.com, you've got a link ready to paste and share. No waiting."

= Ideas for the Classroom = //Communication and Productivity// Rather than using "whole group" to train students to use (insert name of software here), record screencasts that explain each function. Then let students view each screencast at their own pace (and repeatedly if necessary). Then help students who are still struggling on an individual basis. Students can also train each other by recording their own explanations of how to use (insert the name of software here). //Professional Development//
 * Record how to steps for teachers to use for reference.

//Language Arts//
 * When evaluating student compositions (that have already been typed by them), use a screencast to record compliments and to explain how things could be improved. Also, allow students to use screencasts in a similar manner for peer review.

//**Math**//
 * Mathcast 500 Project--goal to create a library of 500+ mathcasts for K-7 math using many student and educator voices)[]
 * Works great with the Tablet PC. Teachers or students can "ink" notes and post to a class potal, blog or wiki!
 * Students can record their work line by line on a problem by making a new PowerPoint slide for each line of work and advancing sequentially through the slides. They can then upload their work and share the link with the class.

//Science//
 * The teacher can provide an example of a science experiment using jing so that during the science class if students forget a part of the instructions, they can go to the computer and watch the demonstration again- JH

//Social Studies// =Addtional Sreencasts tools= > **Camtasia Studio [|http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp]** > **Jing’s big brother on the video side**—and the ideal choice for creating longer, more polished screen videos. Camtasia Studio can edit your Jing videos, too.
 * Using with outlining maps and notes.
