Jing!

Another week...another new app!

I have never used Jing before but it was pretty easy to use....once I realized that I kept clicking on the Cancel button instead of the Stop button at the end of the recording. It was odd that it was so easy to share or embed the video. The fact that it automatically copied the info or link on to the clipboard is unusual and I felt like it was almost too easy.  The hardest thing about Jing is only having 5 min....as a trainer, I need a lot more time then that. :)

Toodledo is the web 2.0 app that I choose to talk about in the video. I am terrible at making a to-do list. I can make a list but prioritizing and not loosing the list is always a challenge. This little app would keep everything in one place and it helps prioritize for me.

I couple of other sites that I found that seemed with interesting or fun were: Mindmeister for mind mapping, TravBuddy for finding out about location you will be traveling too or restaurants in your own backyard and finally Game Classroom all different kinds of math and language art games for K-6.


Here is my Jing upload:

  1. Michelle, Good job on the Toodledo. I’m looking for some like that right now. The tasks lists on google doesn’t quite do it. I liked the timer on the app. Haven’t seen that before.

  2. Michelle, the speed I know you can talk, 5 minutes might just be enough for you ;) Great video and app suggestions!
