Jing Screencast

What did I do? Today I created a Jing Screencast using the Jing Website. I made a video of the Fairmont State website. I clicked on the library icon and showed how to use the citation machine. I think all students should be able to cite books and other resources they use for reports. This is a good website that allows students to type in the information from their resource and then submit it. The citation machine cites the resource for the person. Here is my Jing Screencast.

What did I learn? I learned how to make a video on the computer showing what I was doing on the screen.

How could I use it? This would be great for computer assignments. It's great for giving directions on how to do something.

Here are the following ISTE NETS that this assignment covered:

1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
