Tech Tip – Capture Screenshots with Jing
Jing is a quick, free and easy tool for capturing screen shots which can then serve as brief training videos. The downloadable Jing software (Windows or Mac) can be placed on your desktop to use as often as needed. Simply select an area of your screen, capture it as an image or record it as a video, and then click Share. Jing places a URL to your images on the clipboard, ready for you to paste in documents, blogs, and emails.
What Our Students Are Saying…
About the Instructional Applications of Digital Photography course:
http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/digitalphoto/index.html
Chuck Domine, technology educator from Kenosha, Wisconsin, said, "Instructional Applications of Digital Photography is a resource rich course. The readings, web resources, and activities were pertinent and up-to-date. I was able to bring into practice elements of the course as they were introduced. It immediately led to a much richer learning environment in the classroom. Applying digital photography as a cross-curriculum strategy can be used to engage students in all content areas.”
Daniel Smith, a student from Tokyo, Japan, said, "I really enjoyed the journey through this course. As a full time teacher and family guy, I appreciated the pacing and quantity of work that we did - enough to be challenging, but not so overwhelming that I couldn’t enjoy the process.”
