Weekly Reflection

This week I created a Jing.  My son thought it was neat.  He stated he had heard that you could capture a screen but he had not seen it done before.  So today I taught him a new Web 2.0 tool that he didn't know.  It is usually the other way.  I can see the benefits of using a jing.  Teachers could use it to demonstrate various concepts that they are learning in class.  Teachers could use if for tutorial purposes via the internet.  Teachers could send information to parent about things that happening in the class or school. 

My Jing was how over Edmodo.  I like this site.  I have not use it much and this year I was not in the classroom.  My son has one teacher that uses it.  I like that it has weekly assignment posted and I can keep track of what he has due.  Students can communicate with each other and the teacher.  She doesn't post questions but using it more for information.

I think that creating the Jing is easy but sharing with other can be a little complicative.  I also thought do I sound like that so I had to record many times.  The times goes faster than you think when you only have so long to say what you have to say.  At first I thought I had to much time but I actually had to practice shorten what I wanted to say.
