Jing

Jing

Jing is a free software product that allows users to capture screen shots of their computer or record video and post it online.

Jing is mostly used by students and educators to supplement student to teacher interaction out side of the classroom.  Jing serves to promote student understanding of concepts at home in what is termed a "flipped classroom."  A flipped classroom enables students to review the lesson that was taught at school from their home. 


Jing was created by the TechSmith corporation in 2007.  TechSmith focuses in online instructional tools and educational technology.

Jing can be used in the flipped classroom model by allowing me to record lessons each day and then posting them online for students who may need help recalling ideas or students who were absent from class that day.  It can allow students a better opportunity to pace learning at their own speed.  Personally I could use Jing to share lesson plan ideas and to upload how to documents for students.  I mainly see Jing as a professional tool, not a personal one.
