- When and What to Jing (maybe 5 minutes)
Private Writing or Pair Discussion to Identify Jing Ripeness
Think about times you ended up showing rather than telling directions, times when a picture could have been worth the thousand carefully crafted words that your students (or any audience, really) didn’t read anyway, times that called for pointing rather than saying, times when you felt like saying, “If only you could see this.” Pick one for this afternoon’s project.
. - Downloading and Opening Jing (maybe 5 minutes)
Get online; get to www.jingproject.com; download the free version; follow download directions but skip how-to video (for now); access via sun in top center of screen; create a free account.

Capture an image, doctor that image, save that image, and insert that image into a Word document. Please stick with me: I will talk us through the process first. Play time comes very soon.
.
- Integrating Jing (maybe 5 minutes)
Capture another image; insert that image into a Word document; use Word’s drawing tools to doctor it. Please stick with me: I will talk us through the process first. Play time comes very soon.
.
- Playing with Jing (maybe 30 minutes)
Please work by yourselves or with a partner to create an illustrated document that you might use with your students, colleagues, administrators, friends, family, employees, etc. Have fun! Enjoy! That’s an order. Don’t make me draw you a picture.
