CPD23 - Milestones Crossed

Thing 18: Jing / screen capture / podcasts

Jing History

Screen capturing tools enable us capture image and video. These tools are useful for creating library tutorials on searching and retrieving information using search engines, databases, OPACs etc.  I use Jing for annotating my presentations. The images I posted on CPD23 Learning Path are screen captured and annotated using Jing. If we hover over the sun and click History, we can view  the history of our screen capture, image or video or both (see Image Jing History).

I shared my experience how I crossed milestones (Things) 13 - 17 on my CPD23 Learning Path page.
