What is Jing?

Jing is the "always-ready" program that instantly captures and shares images and video... from your computer to anywhere. And it's free.

  • Snap a picture of your screen. Record video of onscreen action. Share instantly over the web or email.
  • Elegant and simple, Jing's minimal feature set keeps the focus on instant sharing.

Why do instructors use Jing?

  • They use Jing to create a screen shot or a picture of what is displayed on your computer screen:
    • Show a picture of a diagram or process and add it to Word, PowerPoint or Sakai
    • Provide a roadmap to a part of your course for your students
    • Show your students how to make screen shots, so they can show instead of tell you about a problem
  • They use Jing to create a screencast or a video recording of actions that occur on your computer screen:
    • Highlight important or commonly misunderstood aspects of an assignment
    • Answer frequently asked questions
    • Give group or whole class feedback
    • Demonstrate the strengths of a sample work or project
    • Provide feedback for papers, projects, and assignments
    • Explain concepts and demonstrate how to perform math, science or computer lab assignments

What do I need to create Jing videos?

  • Adobe Flash player installed on your computer
  • A headset, microphone, or webcam for recording audio (headset is best)
  • Computer speakers or headset to listen to audio
  • A script is recommended, so you know what you are going to say!
