"Jing is a screencasting software launched in 2007 as Jing Project by the TechSmith Corporation. It is currently in version 2.1.9181 and is free to download and use. The software takes a picture or video of the user's computer screen and uploads it to the Web, FTP, computer or clipboard. A URL is automatically created and can be shared with others to view or access the uploaded file. Jing is compatible with Macintosh and Windows. Its simple format and the ability to upload screencasts in SWF format for viewing at screencast.com has made it useful for virtual reference in libraries."
Go to the Jing website and download the free Jing software. Install this software on your computer.
The Jing website provides a great deal of help in getting started. Here is a good overview of Jing.
Here are several YouTube videos about using Jing:

Computers 2 Assignment: Social Bookmarking
Organizing digital information is becoming a big challenge as people continue to use the World Wide Web in news ways. The ability to recall the locations of favorite web sites, digital pictures, or important documents and email messages is crucial as the amount of data stored on both personal computers and the WWW increases.
Storing photographs or documents in folders on your personal computers is one way to categorize and locate information. Under this scheme, you might organize your digital pictures on your personal computer in folders according to the years that you took them, and then store related photos in folders beneath each year.
What another way we can organize your computers? What about email? Your Favorite Websites? Your Blog Posts? RSS Feeds? Reply to this post with specific way, websites that can help you, and anything else you would want to add.
Assignment:
1) Set up an account on Diigo.
