My Jing Thank You!

One Last Tip, Request, & Thank You

Thanks to everyone who completed the short workshop evaluation. If you left before I reminded everyone and would still be willing to complete it. that would be great.

Also, I think I forgot to mention an important fact about Jing videos. They can only be 5 minutes long. So, as you record your video, remember to keep an eye on the timer (lower left corner of capture area) and wrap it up before you reach the 5 minute mark.

Many thanks to Kathie and Jessica Wallace, Academic Computing Services Manager, for all the hard work organizing and setting up the classroom. My lesson learned is to bring both types of headsets to test in advance.

My email address is on the workshop handout cover sheet. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions. I really enjoyed meeting you at the workshop.
