Jing- Dos Donts

• Always check the microphone Start/ Setting/
  Control Panel / Sound Audio. Do the microphone
  test
• Dont have additional programs open- it gets
  distracting and slows the upload
• Rehearse-it might take a few times to get it
  right-
• Write a few notes-key words related to your main
  message or instruction
• Dont swirl the mouse around as you talk. I have
  to work hard not to talk with my hands as this is
  very distracting for the learners.

11
Jing- Dos Donts

• Jing records the action on the screen, not the
  sound, or music in a powerpoint- Jing only gets
  sound through the mic
• Uploading to Screencast means that you have a
  remote library of your Jing movies
• You do need internet
• No reliable internet? Save the swf files on your
  intranet and run them locally as a demo using
  Jing History. ( on the Sun)
