Jing is the process of sharing a screen or a movie on-line. I could see that this would be very useful in several ways. A teacher could use this to teach in any content area and make it more meaningful to the students by bringing realia into the classroom.
Another way to use Jing would be to bring parents into the classroom to view their son or daughter working in the classroom because it would allow the teacher to add visuals to on-line conversations.
Skype has become popular because it allows individuals to have a real time conversation with others and view their images at the same time. This would be great for parent conferences with those parents that were unable to come to school because of transportation problems, health concerns or just not being able to get off work to keep an appointment.
Skype can be used to do an author study so that the class can have an on-line conversation with the author to get an idea of how his stories are created.
In addition, Skype is another way to see the world for children. They can take a fieldtrip anywhere using Skype! They can go to Africa on safari or Antarctica to see the penguins.
