Part D: Findings and Implications

The project was not quite implemented as planned, although we as a class were able to accomplish the task, I wanted every student to have access to Jing on their own computer. The main objective of this assignment was to assess if students learned and were able to save a file correctly. When it was all said and done, the project was implemented.

Overall, I was impressed with how quickly students learned to use Jing. We explored both screen shots and video capturing with this assignment. The project was to create a tutorial on how to save a file. The objective of the assignment was to assess students understanding of how to save a file. After the completion of the assignment, students will view other student projects to see if the tutorial works. Students will access student blogs to view and provide a comment to two other students.

I would have the technology staff in our district to load the software onto the students computers before the beginning of the school year. Given the slow delay that students were experiencing with Jing, I would look into using or having another program on standby such as Screencast-O-Matic. To ensure quality voice recordings, I would locate a room that was big enough with carpet to reduce noise distractions.




I would recommend others who would like to implement the use of Jing or any other similar program to make sure that the program is available to every student. Also make sure that you have enough equipment for all students to use. If students are not actively engaged in the project, you may experience behavior problems. Be proactive and have additional work available to those who are waiting for other students to finish.

I will continue to use screen capturing and recordings in my classroom. I believe that it will provide a new way for students to learn and become comfortable performing the objectives and standards of the class. On the next project, I want students to create tutorials using Jing to show how to bold, italicize, underline, and change the color of the font.
