2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 19

So go ahead and just give it a try

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 20

Let’s now using Jing!

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 21

Let’s create an account first by filling out this form

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 22

Type in your e-mail address

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 23

Your name

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 24

and your password

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 25

Select your country

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 26

Then click “Create”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 27

See the sun-like icon?

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 28

That’s Jing!

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 29

I was able to screenshot the whole

icon

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 30

because I clicked

the mouse steadily

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 31

But normally, the icon just looks

like a raindrop

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 32

Which you can stick anywhere on your screen

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 33

It has three options

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 34

The first one is labelled as“Capture”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 35

The second is “History”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 36

and the third one is “More”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 37

Let’s now learn how to capture

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 38

Once you click it

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 39

you will see this yellow grid on the screen

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 40

You can use that to outline the area

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 41

of the image that you want to capture

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 42

Let’s try!

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 43

Here is my screen

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 44

I only outlined this part of it

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 45

By dragging the gridfrom here

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 46

To here

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 47

Click “Capture Image”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 48

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 49

Then this will show up

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 50

You can give a name to the captured image

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 51

You can also use the tools on the left side

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 52

Then you will have options if you want

to:

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 53

Click Share via Screencast.com

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 54

Click “Save” to save it to your computer

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 55

Or Click “Copy” to duplicate

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 56

Let’s try sharing via Screencast

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 57

Once you click that, the picture will be uploaded

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 58

to Screencast.com and is ready to be viewed

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 59

You can also simply view the captured image

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 60

In the “History”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 61

When you click it

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 62

You will see the folder history

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 63

and the image that you captured

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 64

Here’s another trick

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 65

Once the captured image has been uploaded

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 66

Get a notepad

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 67

Then press Ctrl + v

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 68

Then you will see a link

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 69

You can use this link

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 70

to share the captured image to your friends

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 71

You can post it on Facebook, Twitter,

etc.

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 72

Or if you are using this at work

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 73

Isn’t it easier to explain something

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 74

with the help of captured images?

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 75

But it’s better if we can also use a video

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 76

So let’s now learn how to capture videos

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 77

Let’s say that I want to show

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 78

a Microsoft Excel activity

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 79

Once again, click “Capture”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 80

Drag the mouse from the top left corner

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 81

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 82

All the way down to the right corner

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 83

Click “Capture Video”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 84

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 85

There is a 3-second countdown before you're

on!

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 86

After the countdown, there be yellow filmstrip

like bands

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 87

On both sides

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 88

This means that a recording is in progress

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 89

If your computer

has a microphone

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 90

Jing can record your commentary at the

same time

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 91

By the way,

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 92

Jing videos are limited to 5 minutes

only

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 93

So make the most out of it

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 94

You can pause the recording

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 95

If you think that you need more time

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 96

to think of what to say next

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 97

Or click “Mute”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 98

If you don’t want to include any commentary

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 99

Or click “Restart”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 100

If you want to do it all over

again

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 101

Or click “Cancel”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 102

If you want to stop the recording

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 103

Or when done, just click “Finish”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 104

You can watch the preview of your video

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 105

Just click “Play”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 106

Don’t forget to click “Share via Screencast”

2015 – Eileen B. Gonzales 107
