12. Due to the sensitive nature of sharing student work publicly, I would
recommend educators use Jing over Screenr.
Student work can be kept private, and there are more features available
through Jing.
Jing allows students to capture images, that can be used in a number of
ways to enhance student creativity.
Jing allows students to save and store their work as they choose.
Jing gives students the capability of creating videos that look
semiprofessional.
