As a graduate of Michigan State University, I'm always excited to see when new and innovative uses of our products are born there!
On Monday July 13th, 19 Master of Arts in Educational Technology (http://edutech.msu.edu) students from Michigan State University took part in a Jing-off Challenge in Plymouth, England! The students were put into teams with the challenge of producing 9 screencasts in 10 minutes. Prior to recording, they were given 20 minutes to decide on a topic and plan out their screencast. Then they had 10 minutes to record, produce, and tweet their screencast...here is what they created:
- Bindu & Michael - Behind the Mask (Photoshop)
- Victoria & Sergio - MAET Tech Challenge
- Julie & Sara - Graphic Design Made Easy
- Kim & Eric - Google Earth
- Lanita & Jen - Online Survey Creators
- John & Eric - Sharing is Caring
- Linda, Renee and Donna - TI-83 Desktop (no audio, on purpose!)
- Bill and Marissa - Quizlet
- Leyna & Doug - Edu 2.0
This all fits in very nicely with last week's "Are Your Students Screencasting" post, so we'll enter each of these nine videos into the competition to win the free Jing Pro Upgrade. We'll continue accepting entries until Wed, July 22 - so you have plenty of time to enter and share. For full details check out this post: Are Your Students Screencasting? Win a Free Jing Pro Upgrade!.
This was a great experience. Jing is such a powerful yet user friendly application. I plan to make it a standard use application at my school this year.
