What is Jing?
Jing is like a camera or video recorder which can
capture everything you are doing on your computer.
So this is a great software sharing screen-shots
and screen-casts.



How to use Jing?
The video below clearly demenstrates how to use Jing step by step.


I hope all of you have got some ideas of Jing, so now
let's discuss how can Jing help language learning.


How is Jing connected with language learning?

• teacher can record feedback on students' writing or other homeworks. Jing creats a face-to-face communication between the teacher and students 
• teacher can make several videos and each of them is connected with one language point or specific topic. For example, one file is about how to do an English presentation; another is about how to use participle clause. In doing so, the teacher can save a lot time and concentrate on individual student.
• student can produce their own introduction with Jing and share it with the whole class






• students can send their homework of oral presentation to the teacher and practice spoken language

• students are more motivated since they can communicate with the teacher after class and receive feedback individually
• even if the students don't understand some parts of the teacher's feedback, they can play the video back again and agian in order to fully understand

 What are the limitations of Jing?

• it has a five minute limite
• it is only accesible with computers and internet
• it is a time-consuming job if the teacher has to give feedback to every student with Jing
• users cannot download the videos
