Jing Image

Jing is another tool that is new to me.  I wasn't aware that it was out there, but now that it's open to me I can see myself using it a lot.  I wasn't really sure how to use it at first so I fumbled around with the snipping tool before I realized that wasn't necessary at all.  Once I got the hang of it I found that Jing is really simple to use.  Once you capture an image you can highlight, point out details, add text, and then share almost immediately.  

The information I wanted to share using this Jing for this assignment goes along with my role as my school's multicultural go-to-guy.  We have our first meeting with our clubs this week and I know there's going to be a lot of grumbling about the fact that we've been cracking down on dress code.  I don't see why they're going to complain that we make them wear their pants above their butts but they will so I'm going in prepared with a picture and caption of a billboard that I hope might stir a few thought provoking conversations.  

I found this small picture and caption while I was working on this assignment and thought it very fitting to use for both this and my activity with my students.  Once I found information on the website that I wanted to use I captured the part of the browser that I wanted to use, edited it as I wished, highlighted the text I found important, added necessary arrows, and included text that I felt would engage my students.  I then saved to screencast where a larger image of the image can be viewed.  

The ISTE NETS T standard Jing applies to is standard 5.  Jing helps tearchers engage in professional growth and leadership by continuously improving their professional practice.  Jing enables educators to model a professional community inside their schools and within their school districts simple by using the tools it provides.
