The fourth assignment that we were required to complete for this semester was to use Jing and Screencast to create a series of screen captures. A screenshot, screen capture, or screen dump is an image taken by the computer to record the visible items displayed on the monitor or another visual output device. To successfully complete this assignment there were certain requirements that we had to meet. The minimum requirements for this assignment are as follows:
Create a series of screen captures (a minimum of 5 images and a video) on a computing task using the Jing and Screencast.com. Keep in mind that you cannot capture a video longer than 5 minutes for a free account. Also, share these files on Screencast.com. Finally, post the link to your Screencast folder containing these files here.
The computing task that I chose to use for this assignment involved the usage of various features of Microsoft Word 2007. As screen captures I included several of images that were not available in earlier forms of Microsoft Word. The video demonstrated how to use the ribbon, etc, which is the most noticeable change to Microsoft Word. Because I had previous experience using Jing this project was very simple. But I did have a few complication using screen cast. This was simply because I was unaware of its capabilities. There are several aspects in which Jing and screen cast can be incorporated on any grade level, especially for instructional purposes or projects. I enjoyed learning the further capabilities of screen cast and look forward to using it in the near future.

I agree with you I enjoyed using Jing and Screencast.
ReplyDeleteSome suggestions about getting your link to work. You could have embeded your link and it would have gone to your Screencast folder and you could have clicked on the flash video and embeded the link.
Keep up the Good work!!
Microsoft Word will be sending you and offer to go to work for them! I am familiar with Word but you found a way to tutor me on some of the tools that I have not used. You chose a very helpful topic to create a tutorial on. Good work and look for that letter from Microsoft.
