Trying again: Jing Screencast YAY--SUCCESS!!

OK, got it now.

This was my Google tutorial:  How to Use Google docs.
If the screen looks black, click on it anyway and it will play.

What I did:   Finally.  I completed this project in June (SEE THAT POST), but could not get it to embed.  As noted previously, I am better with HTML code now, so I tried  it again.  On Screencaster, I copied the embed code and posted it on my blogger.  It was black.  Also very large.  I did some troubleshooting. First I worked on getting the video to show. At the very end of the very long embed code, I saw "Can not display. Need Adobe Flash Player." I had made several attempts to download this before.  I went to Adobe's site and finally got that app to download.  Then I copied and pasted the embed code again.  Still black.  Then I saw that "Can not display message" was still there even though I had installed Adobe.  I deleted that last part of the code and guess what-- it finally showed on the page!  But still was really large, and needed to be resized.  I went back to the dashboard, to edit HTML.  I played around with some numbers for height and width and finally got it to fit in the post.  It does play.  Life is good.

What I Learned: I put my knowledge to good use.  This was knowledge I did not have last month, so I had to leave the project.  It was still time-consuming to post that Jing video (about another 1 1/2 hr.), but I had more idea what to do (with the code etc.) so I wasn't frustrated to the point of tears.

NETS-T: and How It Can Be Used: Refer to previous post 6/16.

Jing Screencast-final

UPDATE:  FINALLY FINISHED ON 7/26.  SEE THAT POST.
Click to view my Jing video. I've spent two days doing this project.  It's probably wrong, but I can't do any better. I was really frustrated while doing this project.  I was trying to show the Jing video on my Blogger page.

Jing project reflection:
What did I do? I downloaded and installed Jing.  I made a Jing image (see my earlier post), using the tools. I made a tutorial video. I saved both to the blog.

 What did I learn? I have seen works like this, but didn't know how to manipulate images.  These are works of a beginner. It will take much more practice before I feel skilled with the Jing tool, but I have a start.  Using Jing, I can "create visual artifacts that are customized" to my particular needs.

 How can I use it? Jing will be helpful in my classroom, making demonstrations for my students.

 How does it relate to NETS T? This project relates to:
- Standard 3a, which states that "Teachers demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations."
-Standard 3c, which states that teachers "communicate relevant information and ideas effectively ... using a variety of digital-age media and formats."  This is a good way to give necessary information using an attractive presentation, designed with digital tools.

Here are answers to my test questions.
