It is extremely frustrating. On a happier note, I am a huge fan of screencasting. I have been doing it for a few years now, and I would really like to get my students to do some of their own screencasting this fall.

Self assessment and reflection important aspects of our personal learning and I think your students will appreciate being able to self assess and discuss with you their assessment. I am happy you were able to persevere in your effort to learn Jing. I always feel that when I work through learning something new (with lots of trial and error) I feel more knowledgeable than if someone "showed me" how to do it.

But when it comes to me and having tech problems, I'm the first to jump up and try to get help from the IT department (or my techie husband). The sheet that lists the "25 Common Tech Problems" I really sat with the problems that I encountered. Jing was definitely one to learn. I encountered several problems, but stuck with it and, after creating several screencasts, think that I learned how to do it! What you said about the process of doing the work and that being assessed is brilliant. I think teachers often take the sole grading role and don't have students in the grading process. I often don't know what the students went through during the process so I'm left to assess what is in front of me. If we can encourage students to assess themselves, and try again (tough one), then I think the assessment piece will be more authentic.
