How to use Jing


Open your browser


Type in Jing


Then click Jing from

TechSmith


Click “Free Download”


For Windows users


Click “Start Windows

Download”


I’ll be using that since

I’m using Windows


It will then start downloading


Click the dowloaded

settings


Then click “Run”


This will pop up


Don’t forget to accept the

fine print


Then click “Install”


After the installation click

“Finish”



After clicking “Finish”


An interactive video

tutorial will show up


So go ahead and just

give it a try


Let’s now start using

Jing


Let’s create an account first

by filling out this form


Type in your e-mail address


Your name


and your password


Select your country


Then click “Create”


See the sun-like icon?


That’s Jing!


I was able to

screenshot the whole

icon


because I clicked the

mouse steadily


But normally, the icon just

looks like a raindrop


Which you can stick

anywhere


It has three options


The first one is labelled

as“Capture”


The second is “History”


and the third one is “More”


Let’s now learn how to

capture


Once you click it


you will see this yellow grid on

the screen


You can use that to

outline the area


of the image that

you want to capture


Let’s try!


Here is my screen


I only outlined this part of it


Click “Capture Image”



Then this will show up


You can give a name to

the captured image


You can also use the tools

on the left side


Then you will have

options if you want

to:


Click Share via

Screencast.com


Click “Save” to save it to

your computer


Click “Copy” to duplicate


Let’s try sharing via

Screencast


Once you click that, the

picture will be uploaded


to Screencast.com and is

ready to be viewed


You can also simply view

the captured image


In the “History”


When you click it


You will see the folder

history


and the image that you

captured


Here’s another trick


Once the captured image

has been uploaded


Get a notepad


Then press Ctrl + v


Then you will see a link


You can use this link


to share the

captured image to

your friends


You can post it on

Facebook, Twitter,

etc.


Or if you are using this

at work


It will be easier for

you to explain

something


with the help of

captured images


But it’s also good


if we can also use a

video


So let’s now learn how to

capture videos


Let’s say that I want

to show


a Microsoft Excel

activity


Once again, click “Capture”


Drag the mouse from the

top left corner



All the way down to the

right corner


Click “Capture Video”



There is a 3-second

countdown before you're

on!


After the countdown,

there be yellow filmstrip like

bands


On both sides


This means that a

recording is in progress


If your computer has a

microphone


Jing can record your

commentary


at the same time as your

movements.


By the way,


Jing videos are

limited to 5 minutes

only


So make the most out of it


You can pause the recording


If you think that you need

more time


to think of what to say next


Or click “Mute”


If you don’t want to

include any commentary


Or click “Restart”


If you want to do it all over

again


Or click “Cancel”


If you want to stop the

recording


Or when done, just click

“Finish”


You can watch the preview

of your video


Just click “Play”


Don’t forget to click “Share

via Screencast”


For the recording to be

uploaded also to

Screencast


Congratulations! You

now know how to

useJing


“Learning is finding out what you

already know. Doing is

demonstrating that you know it.

Teaching is reminding others that

they know just as well as you. You

are all learners, doers, teachers.”
