Jing - Caris and Gemma


Well what do I think of Jing? It's hard to say at the moment, as I like time to play with a software, so I can make an informed decision. I felt in our tute there wasn't sufficient time to play with it. Though I liked the screen capture facility; and can see where I could use it for mine and Sarah's Gamemaker presentation; to capture shots of the screen, for step by step instructions for our fellow students.

As for its use in school, I would have to feel really confident with all its applications, before I would use it in a class situation. I have concerns that the size of the files, would slow any up/down loads. So for now I remain undecided as to its value, as a tool in the classroom, until I have a proper opportunity to play with it.

I do plan to investigate it further by looking at the tutorials on youtube and on the jing website. Here are some links for you to investigate for yourself below:
