Why Jing online?• Multiple opportunities for the learner to watch/listen

assignment with visual & audio• Flexibility-those who were absent for the classroom

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)

Hot Potatoes- how to share

• These are html pages and so need to be added to a website, or webct etc

• They could be put on local intranet and when learners open they will function correctly in IE/Firefox at the local level

• The HTML files can be uploaded to share• If you want to use graphics or sound, save

all .jpg, sound, hot pot, and html files in the one folder
