Jing Video Screencapture #2

Apparently I am an over-achiever! HaHa NOT! Seriously though, I completed the Jing Screencast assignment back in February and I was only supposed to complete the Jing Image, I think! That is what I gathered from the Discussion Board anyway. I did previously blog about the Jing Screencast assignment in February, so I am going to re-use that information, no need to re-invent the wheel if it's not necessary!

The Jing Screencast was pretty cool and could be used as a very fun technology assignment in the classroom.  I made a video explaining the concept of "readability statistics--Flesch Kincaid, which is a concept previously taught in this course.  The Jing Screencast is a fun way to get students involved in recalling information previously learned.  For example:  My DCT students could use the Jing Screencast to make a video on the correct way to sign onto the Wiki, find the week's assignment, and upload the completed assignment.  It is an excellent source of technology to use in the classroom!

The Jing Screencast assignment relates closely with the ISTE.NETS STANDARD 2c because it is using technology to teach something that was previously learned, but that possibly needs reinforcement.  Standard 2c talks about customizing and personalizing learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.
