The thing called Jing! I don't think I've ever been known as "cutting edge" -- more of a 1-2 generation back kind of person. Soooo...I listen to the hub bub about new "toys" and I ponder about the classroom value.
Here's the thing about Jing. Someone emails or calls me asking how to do a certain techno task. I can't explain it---I need to click and point and comment...ugh! Oh but then there is JING!!
I just flip on the Techsmith company's tool called Jing and shazam---I can record my mouse movement with ease and talk through the process as it uses the laptop's internal mic to pick up my commentary. And....if I hate it....I trash it and do another quick tutorial.
but...but....it gets better..........now I upload it to their "magic place in the clouds" and simply send a LINK to my friend in need! Sure, I could save it to my laptop---and sometimes I do---but I love being able to save it on someone else's server in the "sky" and grab the link whenever I need it.
Jing is the jewel for me to make quick tutorials to share with distant clients, team members, family and friend.
Jing---may your best new thing too!!
