My Jing Screencast

One of the great things about the jing software is that it can be used to make a video from the user's computer screen which can be saved or uploaded  to the web, the program automatically creates a URL to the image that can be shared with others online.
For this assignment,we were asked to create a short video (maximum of five minutes) using jing.For my work I used a powerpoint on how to find the Mean,Median,Mode and Range in any given data.
          
                     What I did

I first clicked on the yellow jing sun in the middle of my desktop and selected the capture option and the perimeter of my video.I then clicked on the capture video option which gave me a few seconds prompt and then started recording.
One helpful feature about jing video recording is that you have the option to pause,cancel or restart your recording.After recording I clicked on the finish button which gave me  options to save my screencast on my computer.My screencast can also be assessed in my jing history and jing also automatically generated a  URL to enable me share my work with others online.
The jing sun has three prongs namely

•  capture - this is used to take a picture or record a video
• history  - this is used to access your previously taken pictures and videos which jing saves
• more - this gives you the option to contact the jing help center for assisstance or feedback and you can also set up your preferences.

I believe this assignment addresses the second standard of the ISTE-NETS for teachers to design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessments by  incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
Using jing to create this video will help me;
a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity
b. develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress
c. customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies and abilities using digital tools.
 I saved my work as an SWF File on my desktop with the following address
