Jing is a screencasting computer program that allows users to take pictures or videos of their computer screen and upload it to the Web. When it is uploaded to the Web, the program automatically created a URL and allows the content of the picture or video to be shared with others. This program can be used on both Mac’s and Microsoft Windows so users can only use computers which mean they are not compatible with cell phones or iPads. Some complications that could arise from using this program would be lack of knowledge of how to use and upload the pictures and videos and then also internet issues. If the internet were to be not working in the classroom that day, the teacher or student would not be able to use this program. People who would use this program would be teachers and students. It is fairly simple to set up, but one must make an account in order to be able to use it. User reviews of this program are very good because it is fast and simple to use which is what most people are looking for when using a new program for school or work. There is no need for training when using Jing because the directions on how to use are straight forward and don’t take much time to figure out. Also, Jing is free so there is no worry of the price and everyone in the classroom can use it. Jing can help teachers and students present their ideas effectively and fast and is a unique way in which one can learn something new and exciting.
