  11. Jing • Free software that allows you to create screenshots or video of what you are doing online • Uses in education: • Share a snapshot of a document you want students or colleagues to see • Create tutorials for students so that after showing the class how to do something students can go back and watch it again – very helpful for students learning to use online technologies (i.e. create a video tutorial about how students can set up and use diigo) • Comment verbally on student homework and send them the video
