ICT Tool 1-JING

How to use JING
Allows you to record the screen of your computer as

if you had a camera pointing at it. I use it for providing feedback to students on their written work. The idea generated enormous interest. Including appearance on TV, inclusion in a government report and widespread media coverage. Example

students blog. General feedback Mini grammar review

Impacting on Quality
Students like the voice. Students feel it is more personal. More information is conveyed. Feedback can be elaborated on. Feedback can be very timely. Like having the teacher sitting next to you. Multimodal Student learning styles. Motivating/authentic listening material Special needs students Stylistic benefits

Reflection
We often get our students to reflect on their

lessons/dissertations/ learning. Obvious techniques are Using diaries Questions Tick box and check lists Continually disappointed with the results Students dont engage. Could oral reflection be the way to go? Example of teacher trainer reflecting

presentations and then added their voice. Example Students have loaded up PP slides about themselves with pictures and then added their voice and embedded them into blogs. Students have loaded pictures and then described them. Students have reflected on their lessons.

Reflection with myBrainShark

Would students do better reflections if they were

oral? Could I get students to reflect on their pair work/group work activities so I could learn more about the interactions. Talk class, sent questions, students uploaded and added their answers orally and then shared with me. Example

Present.Me
Proving very popular

then add webcam Great for distance learning, pair work oral work etc. My own work has been in the domain of reflection.
