====Next comes the videos I have made with **__Jing software__** online to teach skills required for making digital stories and for understanding the idea of working on wikis in the classroom. Several classmates in LTT told me about Jing in our first class in January, so I went home that night and downloaded the program and made my first video with it. I made a video to show my students how to record sound files in **PowerPoint** and embed them in their digital stories. I thought that would be more effective than simply teaching them in the computer lab, since they could view this video at their own speed, replay it at school and at home and practice with the sound files. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the Jing software is to use, without any practice. Since that first time, I have had less success with my Jing videos; they have all been skipping parts of the audio and some have had problems with the screen size. I imagine these are caused by making them on my older laptop, a Pentium 3, which is not quite up to speed, shall we say. I will try making them on my newer laptop, which is must faster, and see if that solves the problems. [|Here is the first video] [|Here is the second video] ====
