Screencasts with Jing

During the summer semester, we were first introduced to Jing but the time constraints of the summer session meant that we did not get to the opportunity to play a lot with the process.  So this was my first time creating a screencast.  I have to admit that while I was intrigued, I was also very intimidated by the idea.  I think that I had the most hesitation about choosing a topic. 

I finally decided that I would introduce my students to using Quizlet.  This is a tool that I in both my French and English classes as a way to introduce new vocabulary and to practice those ideas that need memorization (vocabulary memorization, dates, authors, character descriptions, etc.).  For me, the process of joining seems simple, but it is something that causes confusion for students to every year.  My video for students is below.
