Necessity is the mother of invention. Today I added Jing to my repertoire of neat things. Jing is a screen capture program which I had not planned on using. As I was preparing my wiki for my students I found some of the wiki help videos did not help. After a quick trip to Staples, I now own a Logitech USB Headset H390. I am thankful to the United Sates for their Thanksgiving as the headset was on sale for a great Black Friday price.
Anyway, with the headset and Jing I was able to make a view basic videos to instruct my students. I don't expect hollywood to call but for a one minute video I think I did alright.
My sample videos are here:
