4. Jing
Add visuals to your
online conversations.
Instead of typing at people,
show them what you are
talking about…pronto.
“Jing is a great „quick and
dirty‟ solution for producing
simple video tutorials in a
hurry.”

12. Voicethread
The Digital Conversation
Beginning with email and instant messages and
stretching to texting and synchronous video web
conferencing, digital dialogue has gradually
become a common element of everyday life for
today’s students—another opportunity to
“gather.” Our students are crafting identities
and are driven to connect in a social
environment.

Notes de l'éditeur
Capture what you see.Initiate a capture by clicking Jing's happy, always-ready "sun" icon...or pressing a hotkey of your choice. You can capture a window, pane, or region. Make a point.Need to emphasize or explain? Mark up your screenshot with a basic text box, arrow, highlight, or rectangle. Share instantly.Just tell Jing where to send the screenshot and—BAM!—it's there and ready to share. When you send to a destination like Screencast.com or Flickr, Jing even places a hyperlink on your clipboard. No need to wait.Simply paste (CTRL-V or Command-V) the link into an IM chat, email, forum post, Twitter, anywhere...and when the person clicks it they see your freshly-uploaded screenshot. Like magic.
Digital communication toolThat means users can work on and enjoy Voicethread presentations at any time--even if their "partners" are sleeping a million miles away!Let's face it--sometimes working with digital partners can be pretty boring. After all, email and discussion boards are nothing more than written text. Voicethread gives users something interesting to talk about---pictures! What's more, being able to actually hear one another makes digital communication through Voicethread much more personal.
Project types are collaborative, comments, and narration of still photos
