Jing is free screencasting software that can be used to create tutorials, trainings, and presentations by capturing screenshots and audio narration. It allows teachers to make instructional videos walking through PowerPoints, showing student work, or having students narrate their own work. The author chose Jing because it is easy to use, simple to set up, and helps effectively coach peers by bringing presentations to life.
