Jing Graphic

For this assignment we were introduced to Jing.This is a program that allows you to instantly capture images and record video on your computer—then share them with other people. It is a great tool for adding basic visual elements to your work.
                   
                               What I did

I downloaded the Jing software on my computer and set it up so that the jing sun sits nicely in the middle of my desktop, ready to capture my screen at a moment’s notice .I can use it to capture a window, pane, or region with just one click.With Jing, I can add an image to my blog, or instantly share my captures through IM, email,facebook and more.
As a teacher , the cool thing about Jing is that I can use it to emphasize a point or explain a tricky concept by marking up my screenshot with a text box, arrow, highlight, or picture caption.
  For this assignment :
I used Jing to help illustrate/explain how to solve systems of eqautions to my students.After creating my images, I captured and saved them on my desktop.This made the images  very easy to access by just clicking on the sun in the middle corner of my desktop.I also used the Screencast option to enable me share my work with others on the internet.
An example of how I will use Jing to  explain how to solve systems of equations to my Algebra 1 class is as follows
