Jing is free! If you want Jing Pro, it costs $14.95 per year. With either subscription, you can record up to five minutes. The only major differences between the two options are that Jing Pro allows you to immediately share your capture on YouTube and you can also record off your WebCam directly into the program. Also, with Jing Pro you can unbrand your videos or photographs-- meaning that the logos from the website you captured are removed (i.e. YouTube, Animoto logo across the top of the video).

10 Ways to Use Jing! Click on the link below to view a presentation. [|Jing - Use It!]   Jing Instructional Activity: Here is an example of leading elementary students through online research about landforms. We used Jing to screen capture the first three steps of the research. Please keep in mind, although these steps can be shown step by step without Jing using a projector, Jing enables the directions to be embedded on a wiki or webpage so students can access it at home.

Step 1: Getting to Google and typing in keywords to search. @http://screencast.com/t/a0dbtbH7e

Step 2: Looking at the webpage dealing with landforms. []

Step 3: Navigating the webpage to get pertinent information. []

Student and Teacher Examples: Jing is a great tool to use when presenting information to students of all ages. It enables you to give clear, step by step directions about how to do anything on a computer. Whether you're showing Kindergartners how to simply log in or seniors in high school how to conduct research and create a product using a program/software, it gives visual learners a picture of what they should be doing. Older students can use Jing themselves to share how they created something on the computer or navigated a website.
