Jing Screencast

     Today I was to create a video using Jing. I did. If you can remember from my previous post about a certain image, then this video I created follows very closely to that image. In fact, it is the image in video form, plus a couple added moves. 

     Here is a link to my video. I know, short, sweet, and to the point. The concept, though is simple, and with a few of those moves at the end, I feel it is a helpful video to beginning players.

     This is another tool that is great for teaching students with, rather than students using this tool for assignments. This is the program to use for capturing quick video in programs, rather than a camera pointed on the screen. It can even be more helpful with audio. 

required outcomes answers

1. How to determine/ control viewing area? It can be controlled after one clicks on the "capture" button when Jing is opened. Then one should press either "capture image," "capture video," "redo selection" or "cancel."
2. Screen capture save options? You can save it on your computer somewhere on your hard drive, or using cloud computing by saving it on the internet using a website called screencast.
3. Where is your screen capture saved on your computer/how to retrieve it? Mine is saved under C:\Users\Doris\My Videos\Solitare_1vid. I typically retrieve my Jing Image or video using the "History" tool on the Jing home bar.
4. How to push to Internet/share? There is a button that asks if you would like to share onto screencast.com after the file has been captured.
5. File type? Shockwave Flash File (or .SWF)
6. Three Jing 'Sun' prongs? Capture: captures screen image or video, History: opens a window with all previously edited Jing files, and More: includes settings, exit Jing, help, etc.

    This program follows the same standards as the image version, 3c. and 3d.

Awesome program, Mr. Pierce, great download, I plan on using this in the future.
