CAI - Jing

I have had Jing on my computer for several years.  I have only ever used it as a screen capture tool for a static image.  So for this project I decided to find out what other capabilities it has.
I learned:
You can use the video capture tool and anything you say or do when it is on will be recorded and stored on a personal Jing website.  It then provides you with a URL and it can easily be distributed to students or used at a later date.
I did not know that everything including screen captured images were stored in the history.  I clicked on my history and I have images going back 3 years that I have used in my classroom or my personal life.
You can edit the screen captures that you do.  Previously I was putting the images into a different program to add words or arrows and such and did not know that I could do it all in Jing. 
You can reselect your capture size instead of closing out the program and going back in.
You can add differnent buttons and have the videos immediately uploaded to facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and a few others.

This website also had more CAI videos on how to use it in the classroom
Learned:
Provide video feedback to students.
Get students to discuss a picture, or object, or explain how to do something
Ability to use and record yourself talking using the webcam.
Reading aloud and capture themselves (great for parent teacher interviews)
Commentary on a video - explain what they think is happening or reexplaining

More info, examples, and SECTIONS analysis
