After installing the Jing software, I was immediately pleased with how fairly easy the tool was to use. I have recently returned from a training through the state department provided to special education teachers. At that training, I met a very wonderful teacher in Mercer County @Mariette! She introduced me to this wonderful website Tumble Books. I thought I might share this wonderful resource with my classmates as part of this Jing Graphic assignment. I find Jing absolutely amazing. I think of the different ways I can utilize this in my classroom. I could have lessons prerecorded and simply play them anytime I am trying to navigate students on a computer. This would free me up to monitor the classroom and maintain discipline in a more effective manner I would imagine as well. Also, it can be used by the children as part of projects to make a Jing Video and present the video to the class (this could be a group project &/or individual project). The possibilities are endless. Standard #3 states that modeling digital age work and learning is an important concept. If I can demonstrate fluency in technology & then transfer that over to my students- then I have provided them with that opportunity. I do have a question- would the tech guys for schools want this on the school computers?
Anything is possible with Jing! Download and let the sharing begin!
