Jing Graphic

When beginning this assignment with Jing I was not sure what I was downloading and even had trouble with the tutorial. After finishing the assignment and creating my own image, I realized how useful this tool can be in the classroom. I think this is a great way to e-mail students study guides or to add comments to activities to be done as a class for example labeling systems of the body. I used my Jing Image to create a study guide for the circulatory system. I learned how to add text, boxes, and color to "snips" from the web. It would be more helpful than just snipping because I can add arrows to point out specific details and show key points to maps, pictures, text, ect.
The NETS standards I believe this most closely aligns with is Standard two: Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:
a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
b. develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.
I think this is using contemporary tools to maximize learning. By using pictures and technology students have not seen before or is not typical, students will be more actively engaged.
