Jing Graphic

Here is my screen cast of my Jing Image. This activity was much easier than I thought it was going to be. There are so many wonderful options and Jing could be used in the classroom on a daily basis. I chose the image of a microscope. With this being linked to the Interwrite board my student could be able to directly see what specific part of the microscope we are to identify. This could be used as an introduction to the microscope, where the teacher would model and demonstrate. Jing could be used as practice where the students are to complete in groups or individuals to label the different parts. Then as the final assessment the students would have to label the  parts with Jing.



This activity goes along with Standard #2. The subject of a microscope is now adapted to relevant student learning with the incorporation of Jing. This helps promote student learning and their creativity. With the students conducting this process themselves not only are they understanding a new technology concept but they are learning the parts of a microscope without realizing it. They are able to assess their own progress by actually seeing what they have labeled and what they have not. They are also able to see what they are quickly to identify and what parts cause them some difficulty. These would be the areas they would have to work harder in recognizing. The final assessment would be a true test of their knowledge of a new technology and the the individual parts of a microscope.
