Notes

 It turns out that the .swf file Jing Free Version creates is not directly convertible to video for upload on YouPD.com (or any other video hosting platform other than screencast.com).    To work around this issue, download a converter like http://www.moyeasoft.com/swf-converter/swf-to-avi.html and convert your swf to mp4 before uploading.  Use the trial version of MoyaSoft and it will leave a watermark on top of your video.  For $15/yr you can also join Jing Pro and save your file in the highly cross-compatible MPEG-4 format before uploading.

If you'd rather evaluate a fully-functional screencasting tool, use Camtasia's 30-day free trial version.  Available here http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Push my thinking

What are some ways that screencasting could be used to transform teaching and learning, both for education professionals and for our students?

Jing, Screencasting

Problem of practice

How do you use Jing to capture video of a screen presentation?

Solution

Screencasting is a fantastic way to flip direct instruction portion of teaching into the online space, giving students more control over the pace and number of repetitions of a teacher's lesson, and freeing classtime for more interactive methods.
