• Allows a teacher to respond to a student
assignment with visual & audio

Jing- Dos & Don’ts
• Always check the microphone Start/ Setting/
Control Panel / Sound & Audio. Do the
microphone test
• Don’t have additional programs open- it gets
distracting and slows the upload
• Rehearse-it might take a few times to get it
right• Write a few notes-key words related to your
main message or instruction
• Don’t swirl the mouse around as you talk. I
have to work hard not to talk with my hands
as this is very distracting for the learners.
Jing- Dos & Don’ts
• Jing records the action on the screen, not
the sound, or music in a powerpoint- Jing
only gets sound through the mic
• Uploading to Screencast means that you
have a remote library of your Jing movies
• You do need internet
• No reliable internet? Save the swf files on
your intranet and run them locally as a demo
using Jing History. ( on the Sun)

when learners open they will function
correctly in IE/Firefox at the local level
