Jing • Jing allows you to create images and videos of what you see on your computer screen, then share them instantly • http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html • Very simple to use • Videos (max 5 mins) can be recorded of powerpoints. Files saved as .swf and can be played back through for eg windows media player
Jing and reviewing the Y11 mock • Teachers went through each q of paper and files saved onto shared area • Students access this using computer during lesson time and review how they did in the mock • Students then set targets. • Benefits – students much more focussed and on task, only reviewing the questions they got wrong, listened to exam technique , students who miss lesson have opportunity to do at home • Drawbacks – access to IT, time in setting up q
Jing and revision materials • Our elearning package OxBox came with premade powerpoints going through different grades of answers for key topics • Teachers made videos of these and they were made available in shared area as revision materials for resits. • Also been experimenting with http://atomisystems.com/activepresenter/ freeware – exports to mp4 and making materials available via you tube • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6piJC1wtmE radioactivity revision video
Taking e-learning further – the moodle • Can track which students are accessing resources and for how long • Can embed you-tube video without students being directed onto other videos • Can provide access to past papers and other goodies. • Can link to SAM learning, quizlet etc. • www.quizlet.com
