Jing Image

There are numerous learning types that teachers need to be prepared to teach. Students can learn by auditory, visual, or tactile means. A tool like Jing helps build visual components that can be included into lesson plans and curriculums. Part of a lesson plan for a business class would include analytics and how a business uses them. Using Jing to screen capture features in Google Analytics is helpful to providing examples.

Using this example image, students can be shown how Google Analytics incorporates audience reporting into their system. Teachers and students would also be able to discuss if these report features add value to a business' analytics needs.



Jing screen captures can be utilized to include in a lesson plan, but it also provides a share URL for the images. In this instance, the screen capture for the audience report can be shared from the following URL: /Users/Stephane/Desktop/GoogleAudienceReport.png. This can be shared with students that either miss the lesson or need to go back and review the topic further.

Jing outputs the actual images in PNG formats which are optimal for uploading and sharing. The PNG file can be saved when the capture is completed, with ease of use by naming the file and saving it to the desktop or creating a relevant file folder. Downloading Jing is simple and the tool is easy to use. The tool includes a quick tutorial and then it's ready to use. A tool that is free and simple is ideal for teachers to assist them in building quality lesson plans and curriculums.
