Jing is a tool that allows you to take a picture or video of your computer screen, also known as a screenshot. It is great for teachers because you are able to add notes to your screenshot, so it is great for tutorials or presentations in the classroom.

As an early childhood teacher I use Jing in my classroom to record myself logging into the class website. I can then play it back to the class multiple times so that they can learn the procedure themselves. The only drawback to Jing that I have found is the inability to edit your videos once you've recorded them (unless I am missing something). Overall, Jing is a must-have tool for those who teach any level!

I use this tool to enhance my feedback for some of my online students in developmental composition courses. Students can be overwhelmed by comments, and sometimes don't understand the terms I'm using. For example, instead of simply adding a note that a sentence is a fragment, I can highlight it while I'm describing the sentence in a Jingo video and demonstrate to the student how it could be corrected. Each video has a URL, so I don't have to save the videos on my own computer, and students can link to them multiple times.

I use this tool to give instant rich feed back in my online courses and to give step by step video instructions

It's great becuase it creates a URL which you can send to students which means you do not have to store the video yourself

Do not work if you have an old version of java but can be downloaded for free

I would strongly recommend this tool
