__**What the resource is - Its features, gadgets**__

Jing Project allows you to capture images and make videos on the desktop. It's very useful because you can share a picture of your screen, record video of onscreen action, share instantly over the web, collaborate on a design project, share a snapshot of a document, narrate what is being displayed or show someone how to use different programs.

There is an icon with three links which lead you to different functions: capture, history and more. When you **capture** an image, you can either work with it just as an image or as a video. If you choose to work with an image, you can place arrows, write on it, draw frames, highlight special parts, and even choose different colours. On the other hand, if you prefer to make a video, you can record sounds and point with the mouse arrow. In both cases, Jing Project offers the opportunity to instantly upload your design in Screencast and share it, save it, and edit it. With the **history** function, you can view all your projects. Lastly, when you click on **more**, you get the following options: done, send feedback, preferences, help and quit.


 * __Teaching and learning possibilities. How this resource can facilitate teaching and learning.__**


 * Jing Project gives you the possibility of communicating with your students through the Internet by using your own voice, explanations and highlights.
 * It also gives your students the opportunity to work on the four skills. On the one hand, if you make a project for them, they can **listen** to what you have recorded, **read** what you have written, or **write** comments about what you have presented. On the other hand, if they use this software to create their own project, they can write and **speak** about the given topic.
 * On a real page, you can transmit what you think is important, what things you want to make a point of, and what things they should bear in mind.
 * You can lower their feeling of aporia by guiding your students through an explanatory video of what they are supposed to do afterwards.
 * It facilitates the teaching process because it is a kind of recorded lesson to which students can go back as many times as they need.
 * You can comment verbally on students' homework and correct their activities.
 * By using this kind of uploading for your projects, students can get to your work very easily and give you instant feedback to clear out their queries.
 * When applied to the teaching environment, it is the closest to a real class situation.
 * The use of this tool will help students to receive input from authentic sources, because this is the kind of recordings we can produce with JingProject, which shortly thereafter can be shown to our students. Authentic material is highly important because it has not been written particularly for teaching purposes and it resembles the kind of language we use every day in our lives representing situations we might encounter in the outside, like a future job, for example.

**__Example links. Titles, URL and a very short review. Why you have chosen it as an example of use.__

Jing Project** [] This video sets a problem and suggests Jing Project as the solution and explains why it is so practical and helpful. We have chosen this video because we found this approach interesting. By clearly expressing the problematic situation we become aware of how useful it can be. We also thought that the question "Why can't I share what I see?" expressed the moment of aporia we've been working with and on the other hand, it is a shared and common feeling among people.

[] This video shows you all you can do with Jing Project: how to capture an image, how to make a video, draw arrows, etc. We have chosen this video because it explains the use of this software.
