Assignment 8: Jing

My last assignment was to create a series of screen captures and create a video. I had to capture at least 5 images and create 1 video no longer than 5 minutes. I first had to download Jing, a free application to my computer. When signing up for my Jing account it automatically signs me up for Screencast. Screencast is a website that allows one to save and share work online. After completion of my assignment I was to post it to mixxt.com our social online network. 

My images are showing you different things on my facebook page. Using this tool allowed me to capture images and record a video so clearly. Creating a video allowing me to record online text was very interesting. I know it is something I will use in my career in the future. I was astonished at everything Jing could do.

Jing was something I had never heard of before. It was the coolest application I felt I had used all semester. It was very innovative; I had never seen anything like it. I will definitely use this tool again and suggest it to others. I really enjoyed this assignment and am very appreciative to have gotten introduced to Jing. This tool can be very effective to those in the business field. I recently decided to use Jing for a project in my tourism management class. My group members are very impressed on what I showed them. I feel my professor and fellow classmates will enjoy what I have created. Jing is an application for all ages and I recommend that others should start using this tool.

  1. Nice tour of both social networking sites. Showing the different Facebook pages is especially useful these days, since it's such a well used site. If I might make one suggestion, I would advise you to organize the images so that it's easier to understand the differences between each one and how to navigate the site. One way to help with this is using the "Edit" button on Jing to add to the images description. You can talk about what all you're doing and how you get around in the description then, so your viewer never gets lost.

    The video was pretty well done too. You do really well with narration, very clear, slow, and understandable. Just be careful with your "p" and "r" sounds. They mess the mic up a few times I noticed, makes it sound like you're too close to it. But otherwise, nicely done on both counts.

  4. Great tour of both sites. You really took the time out and showed how mixxt is really like facebook and other social networks. I also did my video on a social network. The video seems to be really put together and it was very informational for someone who do not know anything about this site. The only problem I saw with the video was the "mic" issue. It seemed like it was unclear at a few parts. Overall this is a great video and you did a good job.
