Jing can be used to take pictures of the screen you are working on in a step by step progression to create a visual 'How-to'. It allows you to add arrows and text to the screen to provide explanations and extra information. One task that students can be asked to do before using Jing is to write the text step by step in the form of a writing piece that will be taken to Jing later.
Skype is a form of video conferencing that provides instant communication with whoever you want to share information electronically. It allows you to share information live. It can be the primary source for research. Imagine students carrying on a conversation with a favorite author or consulting experts when conducting research papers! For example, they can converse with zoologists if their research is on a particular animal or an architect or engineer if they what to know how geometry (i.e angles, perimeter, area) plays into their occupations. The possibilities are endless.
