I learnt about a new and useful innovation which is called "Jing".
Jing is a free program that allows you to:
- Snap a picture of your screen (use Jing to grab a screen shot when you see something cool you want to save or share and gussy it up and edit/emphasize images with caption, highlight or arrow.)
- Record video of onscreen action (Jing records any onscreen action as a 5 minutes (or less) movie that can be shared instantly.)
- Share instantly over the web (Jing uploads your image or video, you can put Screencast.com embed code on your clipboard instead of a link, and share it easily with others over the web via facebook, email, blogs etc...)
Jing can be use in a classroom by the teacher to edit children's work, and for instance to correct students' writing using the special features of Jing.
However, there are some limitations using Jing, for instance; it takes a lot of time to upload a video and to save and generate an embed code, (I never succeed to upload mine.) You can just create short video of 5 minutes maximum.
