Enhancing Online Lessons and Conferences

Jingproject.com is a very easy to use tool that allows you to upload screen captures and videos to any online conferencing media. I have also posted the link in the Teacher Resources section of my blog. Give it a try, and have fun!

HERE IS A DEMONSTRATION VIDEO that I made to show how Jingproject may be used.

  1. Hey Marcia, thanks for posting this. I am trying to learn how to use it but am having trouble with the video function. i have two questions, I cannot seem to get the sound (mic) to record, any suggestions? Also, if I save the video file to my computer it doesn't recognize the file type, what program do I have to have installed to open the video file directly from my computer and not use the online link? Thanks again,
    Billie

  2. Billie, I'm so glad that you gave this a try! Honestly, I watched the tutorial, then made my own, all in about 10 minutes! I was so surprised at how easy it was. As for the microphone, I wonder if the Jing mic is muted. This happened to me today because I accidentally clicked on the mic icon in Jing while I was recording a video (icon is at the bottom of the video screen). To fix it, I had to start recording the video again, and re-click on the mic icon to turn off mute.

    As for saving the video, I have not tried that yet. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for commenting!
