Well .. Lisa continued her brave and valiant exploration of screencasting in the MYOB classroom, as part of the Can You Hear Us? project. And it’s still not as straightforward as we’d like it to be.
We discovered a few more things about this program known as Jing. We already knew that the application would not run without a login. Now we know it’s a challenge to log yourself off the system .. for example when you’re on a public computer.
Lisa’s had a go at recording the in-class on-screen demonstration with Jing. She’s come back to the recording after class, and found she can’t save the file onto her local usb drive, but she can upload to screencast. But the program is logged in under my name, from weeks before ..so she can’t access the file.
Eyes Roll !!!
i thought i’d write up a few “Caveats” for beginners to this seemingly straightforward application. So you can find some new notes on the Can You Hear Us? site.
