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
