Jing

Jing is one of the best websites for academic interaction between people. They can share ideas as photos or videos. All they need is to download it for free from the net then you can share your desktop with anyone you choose via the email. this program is good because it saves time in that when sharing ideas you do not need to write them or type them it is enough to show the picture and you can record your voice speaking , as you know speaking is much more interesting than writing. This way helps to deliver the thinking process more easily combined  with the small comments you like to add to make you point clearer.

This program is very useful for teacher
 because it gives students immediate feedback for their homework with the teacher’s voice. At the same time, it saves time for the teacher in marking and correcting the homework and exam papers. It is exciting for the students because they can get personal feedback by the teacher so they can realize their weak points easier. Also, they are able to play it back as many times as they want. The teacher can also use this program with students in another way such as asking students to prepare presentations and then send them to the teacher to be discussed. 

This program encourages students to speak using L2 and listen to the teacher speaking it so it helps to enhance listening also. This website encourages and facilitates distance learning where the teacher and the learner can send each other videos of inquiries and discussions related to the topic to be learned. 

The bad thing about this program is that the student cannot contact the teacher immediately when watching the feedback and as a result cannot ask for more elaboration.

  1. Hi, Suzanna! I'm Laila. I'm currently MA ELT (ICT) student at the University of Warwick. Right now I am researching on students’ perceptions and experiences of the use of blogs as an assessment and learning tool (under Tilly supervision). You may recall your blogging experience that you had during your MA ELT course particularly in the ICT in ELT module, in one of the academic years beginning from 2010 to 2017. I need your help to fill in a survey, here's the link: https://goo.gl/forms/hiGUXhIKxaTdxSuc2 (you can copy and paste it to your browser!). The survey is very brief and will only take about 5 - 10 minutes to complete. I would be very grateful, since your responses to this survey will help to gain significant result for the topic I am researching on. Thank you.


    Best,
    Laila
