Creating this screencast was a really good learning experience for me. It was fun and challenging trying to figure out how to best say everything I wanted to in just five minutes. I liked how easy the tool was to use and download. It’s also handy to have it right on the desktop all the time. I spent a good thirty minutes trying to record my screencast because I didn’t like how it sounded or said something that really made no sense. It would have been nice if there was a way to save it and then edit it instead of having to start all over again. It’s also possible that there is a way to do this, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it. I also spent about an hour going through the site figuring out how to use it and what the strengths and weaknesses were. I thought my tool was easy to use and easy to find the information that I needed to make my screencast. Making this screencast was a way for me to share information with my peers in a new way. It also taught me how to use a new tool that I can use in my future classroom. I could use this screencast to introduce my tool to my students or make different screencasts to show different tools to my students. I can also teach my students how to use Jing or another screen casting tool so that they can create their own screencasts. My students could make screencasts teaching their peers how to use a cool tool or how to navigate a certain website to find information about a specific subject. Jing can also be used to capture an image that students could use to share information with their peers or with me as a teacher. I will use technology in my classroom and completing this project helped me to become more confident using this tool.
