Jing?

Jing allows you to take pictures and video of your screen and you can upload your image to a folder and then link it out. The presenter uses this during her IM chat reference so that as she is chatting with a student she can make a video that she can upload then send the link to the student so they can watch it. Pretty cool use of this . . .although this programs seems to have some problems. I've been actually using in my classes clips made from Camtasia which is a simliar program that records.


Library Uses of Jing
